Polonaise Recipe ✓ Broccoli Polonaise

'Polonaise' means to top with crumbs and is traditionally used on vegetables like broccoli. It's an almost instant way to turn a rather ordinary vegetable into a special offering.

Ingredients

• 1 pound broccoli, cut into florets
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ½ cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped

Cooking Directions

1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli, cover, and steam until just tender, 2 to 6 minutes depending on thickness. Drain broccoli and place into a serving dish.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter; stir in bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese, and cook until the crumbs are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the browned crumbs onto the steamed broccoli, and toss gently. Sprinkle the broccoli with chopped egg.
