1 ½cupsshredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Spread the breadcrumbs on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake until dry and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and increase oven temperature to 350°F.

Heat 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. While stirring, slowly pour in broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in cream cheese, sour cream, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup Cheddar and sun-dried tomatoes. Pour the sauce over the broccoli in the baking dish and gently stir to distribute evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar over the top. Bake until the sauce is bubbling around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over the breadcrumbs and toss to coat. Scatter over the casserole when it’s done baking.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
