Ingredients

1 ½ pounds broccoli florets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
1 ½ cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Bring an inch of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Add broccoli, cover and steam until just tender, about 5 minutes. Coarsely chop the broccoli.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and reduce heat to medium-low. Continue stirring until the onion and garlic are starting to brown, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat.
Combine cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup Cheddar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the onion mixture and stir until well combined. Add the broccoli and stir until coated. Transfer to an 8-inch-square baking dish; sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar. Bake until the casserole is hot and the cheese has melted, about 25 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* 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.)
