Our Keto Broccoli Cheese Casserole, Aka Broccoli Gratin is deliciously creamy and makes a great easy to make side dish. The sauce is rich, garlicky, and very addictive!
Fresh garlic is essential to give the sauce its brilliant flavor. Swapping it out for the jarred minced garlic just doesn’t have the same taste.
Ensure that you drain the broccoli really well, too much water in the dish will make the creamy sauce split.

Omg this was amazing. I will never make a different brocoli and cheese casserole again. I did however add a teaspoon of onion powder and paprika for personal preference but the hubby and I love it. Thank you for posting it.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Frances!! Thank you for your kind words 🙂
Made this with a little over a pound of broccoli but 2 teaspoons butter, 3 oz cream cheese and about 3 oz cheddar with a sprinkle of parmigiano reggiano cheese over it. Didn’t want to share it with my daughter! Delicious!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Renee! It’s a big favorite here too!!
This looks amazing! Can you replace the heavy cream with light cream?
Hi Julie,
You sure can!
