Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted and combined with the butter.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded cheddar cheese, a little at a time, stirring until melted and smooth.
Season the cheese sauce with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well to combine.
Add the cooked broccoli florets to the skillet, gently folding them into the cheese sauce until well coated.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the broccoli through and allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of additional shredded cheddar cheese or a dash of paprika, if desired.
