MINDY'S GOLDEN CRUMB BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Cut up broccoli to make about 6 cups.
• Cook in covered saucepan in a small amount of boiling salted water for 10-15 minutes.
• Drain well.
• Pour into a 1-1/2 quart casserole.
• Mix soup, mayo, cheese, pimiento, and lemon juice together.
• Pour over broccoli and top with crushed crackers.
• Bake uncovered at 350 for 35 minutes.

BUTTER-STEAMED BROCCOLI WITH PEPPERY BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread bread crumbs on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes, turning pan and stirring crumbs occasionally to ensure even browning. Remove from oven and transfer crumbs to a bowl. Stir in black pepper and salt to taste. Set aside at room temperature.
• Cut off thick stems of broccoli and save for another purpose, such as soup. Cut broccoli tops into 3-inch-long spears of approximately equal size.
• Put a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter, add broccoli spears and season with salt. Add 1 cup water, turn heat to high and cover skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Cook rapidly until firm-tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. The broccoli should absorb all the butter and water. (If there is any buttery liquid left, spoon over broccoli just before serving.)
• Transfer broccoli to a serving platter or a large wide shallow bowl. Sprinkle generously with peppery crumbs. Using a vegetable peeler, shave Parmesan into rough shards and scatter over the top.

COMFORTING BROCCOLI CASSEROLE

• In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; fold in broccoli. Transfer to a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Cover and bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or a thermometer reads 160°.
