Cooking the broccoli

You’ll be able to cook broccoli many various ways. I prefer blanching them in hot boiling water for 1 min and draining them. This method is fast, effective and simple way of cooking broccoli. 

You’ll be able to steam the broccoli in a steamer or microwave also.

Making Cheese Sauce

Heat butter in a sauce pan. Add in garlic and saute for 10 seconds till fragrant. Sprinkle in flour and stir fry for a min. Add in milk and blend well. Stir till it thickens.  Finally add in salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix well. Stir in ½ cup of cheese and blend till cheese is melted.

Baking Broccoli and Cheese

Take a baking dish. Add cooked broccoli into the dish. Pour cheese sauce over it and top with remaining cheese. Broil this on high till bubbly and golden brown in a 220 degree C preheated oven for 10 to fifteen mins. Remove and serve.
