Method
 

  1. Prepare Broccoli:
  2. Steam broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Set aside.
  3. Make the Cheese Sauce:

  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Place steamed broccoli in a greased baking dish. Pour cheese sauce evenly over the broccoli, ensuring all florets are coated.
  10. Add Topping:
  11. Mix breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle over the cheese-covered broccoli for a crunchy topping.
  12. Bake:
