Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese can be substituted for Swiss cheese or added to the breadcrumb topping.
If using fresh broccoli, steam or blanch it until tender-crisp before adding it to the casserole.
To prevent the bread crumbs from burning, tent the casserole with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking if needed.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
