Ingredients
- 2 medium broccoli stalks (chopped in 1” florets)
- 1 ½ Tbsp. olive oil
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat your skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add broccoli, salt and pepper. Stir the broccoli until evenly coated with oil.
- Let it sit for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until broccoli begins to brown.
- Spread broccoli in an even layer and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Add ¼ cup water to the pan and cover with a lid.
- Turn heat off and let the pan sit undisturbed for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use frozen broccoli here, too. It will create a softer, steamed texture, but it will still be tasty!
- Sub any other type of cheese for the cheddar.
- For even more flavor, add garlic powder or paprika with the salt and pepper.
