Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Broccoli
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Steam the broccoli florets until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Make the Cheese Sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, then gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, cooking until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt and black pepper.

Combine and Assemble
In a baking dish, combine the steamed broccoli with the cheese sauce, ensuring the broccoli is well coated. In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the broccoli and cheese.
