Broccoli-Cheddar Butter Beans

  

 Ingredients

1 tbsp unsalted butter

½ cup finely chopped yellow onion

3 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon)

12 ounces fresh broccoli florets, cut into ½-inch pieces (about 4 cups)

⅓ cup lower-sodium vegetable broth

1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added butter beans, rinsed

¾ cup half-and-half

½ tsp pepper pdr

½ tsp dry mustard

½ tsp salt

1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

8 (½-inch) slices crusty whole-wheat baguette, toasted

 Method

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ½ cup onion and the chopped garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add cut broccoli, stirring until well combined. Pour in ⅓ cup broth; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and bright green, 3 to 4 minutes. 

Stir in rinsed beans, ¾ cup half-and-half and ½ teaspoon each pepper, dry mustard and salt. Bring to a lively simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes, then stir in ¾ cup Cheddar until melted. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup Cheddar. Serve with toasted baguette slices.
