This Greek Broccoli Gratin is a lighter take on a traditional cheesy broccoli casserole. It uses tangy feta cheese and a mixture of mayonnaise and yogurt in place of a traditional cheese sauce saves tons of time, making this a quick and easy side dish to pair with chicken or fish. Or, serve as a vegetarian main with a salad.

  • Prep: 20 mins
  • Cook: 20 mins
  • Yields: 8 Servings

Ingredients

⅔ cup mayonnaise

½ cup red bell pepper, chopped

½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped, divided

2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon lemon zest

6 pitted Kalamata olives, coarsely chopped

8 cups broccoli florets (2-inch pieces)

½ cup panko breadcrumbs

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat an 11-by-7-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2Combine mayonnaise, bell pepper, yogurt, feta cheese, 1 tablespoon dill, parsley, lemon zest and olives in a large bowl.

3Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Add broccoli, cover and cook until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the broccoli to the mayonnaise mixture, stirring to coat. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.

4Combine breadcrumbs, oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon dill in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the broccoli mixture. Bake until the topping is golden brown and crispy, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
