Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (not necessary if you use baking paper)
  • half head broccoli broken into smaller florets, halve them if they are too big
  • 150 g grated mature cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Prepare the broccoli: steam the florets (no salt needed as the cheese will be salty) until they are al dente.
    In the meantime, line a baking sheet, shallow pan with parchment paper.
    If you don't have parchment paper, grease the bottom of the baking sheet with olive oil.
    Sprinkle half of the grated cheddar cheese all over it, evenly.

  • Smash the broccoli florets with a potato masher. This might seem a bit of a difficult job, but do your best. The broccoli florets should be only cooked to 50-60% because they are going to bake and you don't want to eat mushy broccoli.
