Notes
- You can use dijon, wholegrain or English mustard in the cheese sauce, or just leave it out.
- Make sure that the broccoli is all cut to the same size so that it cooks evenly.
- Add a crispy topping to this side, by sprinkling it with Parmesan before putting it in the oven.
- You could even mix some panko breadcrumbs in to the parmesan before sprinkling on top, to make it really crispy.
- Why not swap half the broccoli for cauliflower?
