Notes & Variations
-
Frozen Broccoli: Frozen broccoli may be used, but needs to be prepared ahead. Because frozen broccoli holds more water, start with ¾ cup of milk and add more as needed.
-
Cheese swap: Try parmesan or gruyere for a stronger cheese flavor
-
Meal prep tip: Freeze leftovers and reheat in the toaster for quick meals.
-
Habit tip: Serve these as a side with soup or salad to make Daily Elements part of lunch or dinner.
