The tangy bite of feta over the smooth buttery taste of charred broccoli with fresh thyme and toasted breadcrumbs.

Charred Broccoli
Ingredients
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large bunch broccoli, sliced lengthwise into 3 – 4 thick slices
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 ounces feta cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, toasted
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, destemmed
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and melt. When all the butter is melted add the mushrooms and sautéed until soft, stirring often to avoid burning the butter, about 5 – 6 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate. Set aside.
- Wipe the skillet out with a paper towel. Return to heat and warm some olive oil in skillet. Reduced the heat to medium and add the broccoli slices. Salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for 3 minutes; turn over and sauté the other side.
- Return the mushrooms back to the skillet to heat through. Transfer the broccoli slices to serving plates. Spoon some mushrooms over each broccoli slice. Divide the feta cheese evenly over the slices. Season with breadcrumbs and fresh thyme.
nice. My husband says that roasted/charred broccoli is better than candy!
Thank you! I totally agree with your husband!
Yay! You added a comment section!
This looks divine, Ella.
Thank you. (Now if all the blasted stores can stop selling just the crown – what is up with that? We LOVE the stems). Yes, yes, I know, I could grow my own…
I noticed the crown thing. What is up with that? I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe.
