So, Kelli called me up last night and asked me if I was cooking dinner. "Um, sure, yes, I'm cooking dinner. What shall we have?" We decided to just pick up a rotisserie chicken and have some vegetables on the side. I suggested steaming some broccoli and roasting some asparagus. She asked if we could maybe melt some cheese over the broccoli and I said "Well, how do you feel about cheese sauce?" "PERFECT!"
So here it is. A super easy sauce that's absurdly simple to make and is perfect over any steamed veggies, French fries, or baked potato. So good!
1 bunch fresh broccoli
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
Cut broccoli into spears and steam over boiling water until tender. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, over medium heat, stir together cheese, cream and salt and pepper. Let it simmer for a few minutes until it's smooth and thick. Pour over steamed broccoli and serve.
Tip:
You can easily add other cheeses or substitute another cheese such as Gruyere or Fontina. If you'd like to cut the fat a little, use light cream or half and half.
