Ingredients 5
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh broccoli, stem on (about 3 large heads or 6 heaping cups florets)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (see Notes)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Method 4
- 01
Chop the broccoli into medium sized florets (leave a good amount of the stem for a nice shape; see the photo or How to Cut Broccoli ).
- 02
Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat it on medium high heat. Add broccoli and salt. Cook 3 to 4 minutes until starting to brown, stirring occasionally.
- 03
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli, followed by the cheddar cheese. Add ¼ cup water to the bottom of the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook another 1 minute until cheese is melted and the water cooks out. Serve immediately!
- 04
Classic sauce: Make this cheddar cheese sauce and add that instead of step 3 above.
