Roasted Broccoli and Pecan Gratin
 
Ingredients
  • 1½ to 2 pounds broccoli, trimmed, the stems cut into pieces
  • ⅓ cup of creme fraiche
  • ¼ cup mayonaise
  • ½ cup pecans, chopped
  • 1½ tsp lemon dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp salt and pepper each
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup of parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
  1. Put the broccoli and pecans in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, toss with minced garlic, sprinkle with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes and transfer to a gratin dish or casserole dish. Cook until the tops are browning and the stems are crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. Remove from the oven and set aside. Mix together in a large bowl the remaining ingredients. Place small mounds of the cheese mixture on top of the broccoli, gently pressing down. Return to the oven and cook until the cheese is bubbling and the bread crumbs are golden. Serve hot or warm.
