Broccoli And Cheese

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli

  (plus water for steaming)
• 1 cup whole milk

  (or half & half, or heavy cream)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ⅛ teaspoon each, salt & pepper

  (to taste)
• 1 cup cheddar cheese

  (grated)
• 2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese

  (grated)

Instructions

• 1 Wash and trim the broccoli then place florets into either:
  
  1) A microwave-safe dish with ¼ cup cold water. Cover and steam in the microwave
  until fork tender, about 6-8 minutes.
  
  2) A saucepan with a steamer basket insert and 1 cup water, bring to a boil then
  reduce heat to simmer and steam, about 5-6 minutes.
  
  3) A skillet with 1 cup water, simmer over medium heat, covered. Cook for about
  4-5 minutes or until fork tender.
• 2 Once the broccoli is cooked, remove from heat and drain water as needed. Cover
  and keep warm while the sauce finishes.
• 3 Add the milk and cornstarch to a saucepan and whisk to combine. Heat at medium,
  whisking occasionally, until thickened.
• 4 Remove from heat and whisk in the seasoning (garlic powder, salt, and ground
  black pepper) then add the cheddar and Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted.
• 5 Serve immediately over the broccoli.
