Directions

Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Place broccoli in the basket and steam until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes.(Alternatively, place broccoli in a large microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave on High until the broccoli is tender-crisp, 5 to 8 minutes, stirring once.)Coarsely chop the broccoli and spread evenly in the prepared baking dish. Remove the steamer basket and pour out any remaining water from the pot.

Add oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the pot; heat over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, garlic and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and all the liquid is released, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour evenly over the vegetables; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Slowly add broth, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in cream cheese, lemon juice, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring constantly, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 cup Parmesan. Pour the mushroom sauce evenly over the broccoli, stirring gently to combine.

Microwave the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl on High until melted, about 30 seconds. Add panko and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and pinch of salt; stir to combine. Sprinkle evenly over the broccoli mixture.

Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes.

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.)
