Perfect Broccoli Casserole Is One 3-Cheese Blend Away
BY J. Henley
Broccoli casseroles are all about the cheese, and the best dishes call for a blend of three kinds of cheeses: a classic, one that melts well, and one low in moisture.
The first kind of cheese is cheddar, the queen of casseroles, which blends really well. Milder versions, like orange cheddar, are creamier and make great sauce candidates.
Next, choose a cheese known for melting, like mozzarella or super-stretchy Oaxaca. Finally, any dry, hard cheese like parmesan or Grana Padano will yield a golden, crispy crust.
