Preparation

Step 1

Place half of broccoli in a steamer basket; place in a large saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam for 3-4 mins. or until crisp-tender. Place in a greased 13x9 baking dish; repeat with remaining broccoli.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 Tbsp. butter. Add onion; cook and stir until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 min. longer.

Stir in flour until blended; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 mins. or until thickened. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolk; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 1 min. longer. Remove from the heat; stir in the cheese, salt and pepper.

Pour over broccoli. In a small skillet, cook bread crumbs in remaining butter until golden brown; sprinkle over the top.

Bake uncovered at 400 for 15-18 mins. or until heated through.
