Tips:

Choose fresh, tender broccoli florets. Avoid florets that are wilted or have brown spots.
Cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
Steam or blanch the broccoli florets before adding them to the casserole. This will help them retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
Use a combination of cheeses in the casserole. This will create a more complex and flavorful dish.
Don't overcook the casserole. The broccoli should be tender but still slightly crunchy.
Serve the casserole hot, with your favorite sides.
