Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider substituting the new cream with sour cream or Greek yogurt. If you prefer a crunchier topping, add more French fried onions on top before baking. You can also experiment by adding garlic powder or cheese for extra flavor. If broccoli isn't your favorite, try using cauliflower or a mix of vegetables to make this dish versatile.

This dish goes well with a variety of sides. Serve it with roasted potatoes, quinoa, or a light vegetable stir-fry. For a more filling meal, pair it with a hearty protein like grilled tofu or tempeh, which complements the flavors of the broccoli bake perfectly.
