Tips:
- For a healthier version, use low-fat or non-fat milk and cheese.
- Add a cup of cooked chicken or turkey to make this a complete meal.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the butter and flour in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Then, slowly whisk in the milk until the sauce thickens.
- Be careful not to overcook the broccoli. It should be tender but still have a bit of a crunch.
- Serve immediately or let cool and reheat before serving.
