Method

Preparation of Broccoli

  1. 1

    Wash and Cut Broccoli

    Rinse the broccoli florets under cold running water to remove any dirt. Cut larger florets into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Steam Broccoli

    Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender but still crisp.

Preparation of Cheese Sauce

  1. 3

    Make Roux

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

  2. 4

    Add Milk

    Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese and Seasoning

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Place the steamed broccoli on a serving platter and drizzle the cheese sauce over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
