This recipe is so versatile! You can use Vidalia onions, green onions or leeks. Asparagus can take the place of broccoli, and you can use whatever fresh herbs or cheese you have on hand. I especially like it in spring, when I'm overwhelmed with an abundance of fresh greens. —Shannon Koene, Blacksburg, Virginia

Tip

Shred and Freeze Cheese

It’s usually cheaper to buy cheese in blocks than in shredded form. So I purchase large quantities of cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella, then shred them myself in my food processor. I store the shredded cheese in the freezer in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags, so I have it at my fingertips whenever it’s needed. —Evelyn O., Parma, Ohio

Loved this recipe! I used asparagus instead of the broccoli. Can't wait to make it again

Delicious recipe. I made it with zucchini instead of broccoli, because that's what I had on hand. Yummy!

I really don't care for this recipe. The flavors seem to fight each other. The rosemary was overwhelming. There isn't anything I can think of to change about it that would make it worth trying again. Disappointing for the amount of work that goes into it.
