Directions
Step 1 | |
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Make the biscuit topping: combine the whole wheat flour, the baking powder and baking soda, and the salt in a large mixing bowl. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to blend 6 tablespoons of the butter (cut into cubes) into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually mix the buttermilk into the flour-butter mixture until a slightly sticky dough forms. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until ready to use. | |
Step 2 | |
In a medium saucepan, melt one tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Sauté the onion until it starts to soften. Add in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are softened. | |
Step 3 | |
Sprinkle the four tablespoons of flour over the onion-mushroom mixture. Cook for about a minute. Gradually stir in the chicken stock and milk. Cook until thickened then add the broccoli and cook for a few minutes more. Add four ounces of the cheese and stir in until melted. Add salt and pepper to taste. | |
Step 4 | |
Pour the mushroom-broccoli mixture into an 8-inch square baking pan. Roll the biscuit dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead and turn the dough a few times then pat into a rectangle about 2 inches thick. Cut the dough into 12 pieces and evenly distribute on top of the broccoli mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. | |
Step 5 | |
Bake the casserole for about 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and browned on top. Serve immediately. |
