Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: For the best results, select broccoli with tight, deep green florets and firm stems.
  • Steam the broccoli properly: Steaming is the best way to cook broccoli to preserve its vibrant color and nutrients. Steam the broccoli for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still slightly firm.
  • Make a flavorful cheddar sauce: The cheddar sauce is what really makes this dish special. Use a good quality cheddar cheese and season the sauce with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Serve the broccoli immediately: Once the broccoli is cooked, serve it immediately with the cheddar sauce. The broccoli will lose its vibrant color and nutrients if it sits for too long.
