Number Of Ingredients 6

2 bunches broccoli (about 3 pounds), stalks trimmed, tops broken into 2- to 3-inch florets

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but this dish was surprisingly delicious! The broccoli was perfectly cooked and the cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful. The breadcrumbs added a nice crispy texture, and the overall dish was just delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly but my dish didn't turn out as good as the pictures. The cheese sauce was too runny and the breadcrumbs didn't get crispy.

This dish was a bit bland for me. I think it could have used more seasoning, maybe some garlic or chili flakes.
