“'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.” - by chicken

Ingredients

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

Directions

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.
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.

"Made the Broccoli Polanaise today. Thought it was a quick, easy side dish to make. Used Italian bread crumbs and real butter - made it very rich. Would make again...." See more"
