Tips:
- Choose firm, brightly colored broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green and tightly closed. Avoid crowns that are yellowing or have brown spots.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes will be red and juicy. Avoid tomatoes that are green or have bruises.
- Cook the broccoli and tomatoes until they are tender but still slightly firm: Overcooking will make the vegetables mushy.
- Use a variety of cheeses: This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and feta.
- Season the dish to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
- Serve the broccoli and tomato cups immediately: This is when they will be at their best.
