Can I use frozen broccoli florets?
Yes. The average head of broccoli should yield three to four cups of broccoli florets when removed from the head, and this is the amount you’ll want to use if substituting with frozen broccoli florets.
Is Insanely Delicious Cheesy Broccoli spicy?
We call for 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes for a slight kick, but this is not an overly spicy recipe. If you have young kids or anyone extremely spice intolerant, you can either omit this entirely or substitute with a sprinkle of ground black pepper to taste.
Cheese Options:
We love the juxtaposition of a good sharp cheddar cheese with the brightness in the lemon juice and bitterness of broccoli. However, experiment with some of your favorite cheeses! For best results, use something that melts well, such as Mozzarella, Provolone, or Gruyère. If you like this recipe, you may be interested in these other delicious side dish recipes:
