1
Prepare the Broccoli
Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

3
Cook the Broccoli
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and set aside.
4
Make the Cheese Sauce
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add Flour
Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour, stirring continuously for about 1 minute to create a roux.
6
Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
7
Add Cheese
Lower the heat and add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until fully melted and combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
8
Combine Broccoli and Cheese Sauce
Fold in the cooked broccoli florets into the cheese sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.
