Baked Broccoli with Heavy Cream

Baked Broccoli with Heavy Cream

The broccoli is first briefly boiled, then baked in a mixture of heavy cream, eggs, and cheese. The key is not to overcook the broccoli — overcooked broccoli becomes completely unpleasant and loses its color. Any heavy cream with a fat content between 10% and 25% works well for this dish.

Ingredients:

  • 500 g broccoli
  • 200 ml heavy cream (I used 15%)
  • 100 g cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • salt
