Black Peppered Broccoli Gratin

This is a new recipe that I created. I've put together a mix of Black Pepper and Spices to create this tasty Broccoli Gratin. You could make it with Cauliflower.

Sprinkle with a layer of Cheese.

Top with another layer of Broccoli.

Top with remaining Cheese.

Heat Cream just until warm.

Whisk in the Seasoning Mix.

Pour the Cream over the Broccoli and stir to combine well.

Sprinkle evenly with Bread Crumbs.
