Ingredients

  • butter for greasing the pan
  • 8-9 corn or flour tortillas 6-inch size
  • olive or vegetable oil non-stick spray
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons diced onion
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • ½ jarred roasted red pepper diced
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 + ⅓ cups shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese white or yellow
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • sea or kosher salt and black pepper
  • 10 ounces cooked broccoli chopped into bite-size pieces (about 2 + ½ cups

Instructions

  • Generously butter 8 cups of a muffin pan. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat and working with one tortilla at a time spray each side of the tortilla lightly with non-stick spray.
  • Cook on each side 30 seconds to 1 minute. Let cool until you can handle it and cut into 4 triangles.
  • Fit each muffin cup with three triangles - points first - pressing the tortilla into the bottoms and up the sides. Repeat until all 8 are fitted with tortilla cups.

Make the Sauce:

  • In a small saucepan heat the oil and butter over medium-low heat and add the onion, garlic and red pepper. Cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and cook 2-3 more minutes, stirring often.
  • Slowly whisk in the milk and mustard. Turn the heat up to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Simmer 3 minutes stirring often.
  • Turn the heat down to low and stir in the cheddar a little bit at a time followed by the Parmesan cheese.
  • Season with about ½ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper or to taste.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the broccoli.
  • Use a ladle to fill each cup with the broccoli mixture almost to the top.
  • Bake 18 minutes. Let them set up 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
  • Run the point of a paring knife around the edges of each one and lift them out by the edges of the tortillas.
