Broccoli Bake with Brie

Broccoli bake is a creamy and cheesy low carb side dish. Brie cheese has been added for an indulgent side dish. Serving vegetables smothered with cheese is always a family favourite!

Brie and broccoli go very well together, usually in a quiche or fritta.  Here, the two ingredients are baked together and the yummy Brie melts into the broccoli.  This is a good way to eat a plate of broccoli too!
