Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form.

Remove from oven and increase oven temperature to 350F.

Heat 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes.

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

While stirring, slowly pour in broth.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup Cheddar and sun-dried tomatoes.

Pour the sauce over the broccoli in the baking dish and gently stir to distribute evenly.

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar over the top.

Bake until the sauce is bubbling around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over the breadcrumbs and toss to coat.

Scatter over the casserole when it’s done baking.
