For a richer flavor, try using a blend of cheddar and Gruyere cheese. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce for a warm, aromatic touch. To prevent a soggy casserole, ensure the broccoli is thoroughly drained after blanching. For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Toast the croutons lightly in a skillet before adding the butter for extra crunch. You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery or chicken soup. Add a layer of fried onion as toppings.
