Ingredients to make a cheesy broccoli casserole

– Broccoli: I prefer to use fresh broccoli, but you may also use frozen if you’re in a bind.

– Butter: I typically use salted butter, but you may use unsalted if that’s what you prefer.

– Garlic: Fresh garlic is best. I use a microplane to finely mince the garlic, but you may also mince it by hand.

– Heavy cream: It’s all good as long as it’s full-fat.

– Cream cheese: Choose a full-fat block cream cheese.

– Dijon mustard: Mustard ads a nice tangy flavor.

– Mozzarella: To save time, I prefer to use pre-shredded cheese.

– Parmesan cheese: I like freshly grated parmesan. I also use pre-grated for this recipe, but the flavor isn’t nearly as good.

– Cheddar cheese: To save time, I prefer to use pre-shredded cheese.

– Salt & Pepper: Seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper is my preference.
