Zubereitung von Swiss Sauced Broccoli
- Wash 1 large head of broccoli thoroughly.
- Remove tough outer leaves and the bottom 1 inch of the stalks.
- Cut broccoli stalks lengthwise into uniform spears, or slice thinly crosswise. (Aim for approximately 4 cups of florets).
- In a 1-quart microwave-safe casserole dish, combine broccoli florets, 1/4 cup of water, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt.
- Microwave, covered, on high power for 5-6 minutes, or until broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Drain the broccoli and set aside, keeping it covered to stay warm.
- In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup, microwave 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine, uncovered, on high power for 30-45 seconds, or until melted.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of milk until smooth.
- Microwave, uncovered, on high power for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and bubbles, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded Swiss cheese (or cheddar!) until completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the cooked broccoli and serve immediately.
