Easy and Delicious: Broccoli with Cheese
Broccoli is a versatile and nutritious vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. One popular and flavorful method of preparing broccoli is by cooking it with cheese. This delectable combination is sure to please even the pickiest eaters. In this article, we will guide you through the process of cooking broccoli with cheese to perfection.
Ingredients:
- 1 head of fresh broccoli
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Start by washing the broccoli thoroughly under cold water. Trim the florets from the stems, and cut them into bite-sized pieces. The stems can also be peeled and chopped into smaller pieces – they are just as tasty as the florets!
- Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water to enhance the flavor. Once the water is boiling, carefully add the broccoli. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the broccoli is tender yet still vibrant green. Be careful not to overcook the broccoli as it can become mushy.
- While the broccoli is cooking, prepare the cheese sauce. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until it is completely melted and smooth. This will only take a few minutes.
- Once the broccoli is done cooking, drain it and transfer it to a serving dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the broccoli, ensuring that each piece is coated with the delicious cheesy goodness.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you want to add an extra kick to your dish, you can sprinkle some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Serve the broccoli with cheese immediately, while it is still warm and the cheese is gooey. It makes a fantastic side dish or even a light main course.
