Cheesy Skillet Shells with Air Fried Broc & Buttery Garlic Ritz Crumb

Woohoo! Remember all of my skillet shells from last year? I had the Pesto Brussel Sprout version, Buffalo Cauli, and the Hot Cheetos, all of which were freaking amazing. I figured it was time to get back to creating new versions because let's be honest, a big old batch of cheesy shells is never a bad thing.

I started by making a gorgeous Ritz cracker crumble for the top. Super simple, some butter and garlic, and the Ritz crumbs until golden and toasty. I then air fried some broccoli until slightly charred and worked on the cheesy sauce. Once the sauce is rich, I folded in a combination of Monterey Jack, Marble, and Old Cheddar until ridiculously cheesy and then I folded in the shells until coated. Finished under the broiled until golden and melty, topped off with the air fried broc and Ritz cracker crumbs. 

You get rich and cheesy. You get some charred action which helps to cut some of that richness, and you get little crispy bits of toasty Ritz crackers. I'm obsessed with this skillet and I think you guys will be too!

What should I top my skillet shells with next?
