I stole this from Good Eats on the food network then modified it to make it my own...
1 pound of broccoli (I never weigh- I just get a couple of heads)
1/3 cup of Panko bread crumbs
Garlic (original recipe says 2 cloves, I say 4)
1/4 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (I never measure, though)
Blue Cheese crumbles (however much you want!)
Olive oil (enough to coat the broccoli)
Salt
Pepper
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Spread the panko out in a casserole pan and stick it in the oven to toast to golden brown while you chop broccoli (watch it- it goes fast if you use a metal pan). Chop the broccoli (stems, stalks and all) and garlic and place in a large bowl. The stalks should be sliced to about nickel thickness so they'll cook evenly (the texture of those is awesome!)
Coat w/olive oil and season w/salt & pepper to taste. Once the bread crumbs are toasted, stir them in w/broccoli & dump everything back into the pan. Bake for 8-12 minutes (depending on how crisp you like your broccoli and if you use a metal pan). I bake 12 minutes in glass.
When finished, dump back into a bowl and add the cheeses immediately so they can melt a bit. VIOLA! You're done!
I'm hungry now

Thanks for posting this. I keep buying brocolli because it's cheap and healthy but I've never really liked it much. This recipe sounds good. I'll try it this weekend.

Ooohh... thanks! I bought a huge Costco bag of broccoli and am bored with the steaming routine! This looks GREAT... cheese is excellent on anything!

My favorite way for broccoli is steamed with roasted almond slivers and lemon-infused olive oil.
It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

I love broccoli!
My favorite easy (and healthy) seasoning - soy sauce and lemon juice.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

I bet the almonds would be good in this recipe! Anyone else have good broccoli recipes? I love the stuff. Especially just lightly cooked and still crunchy!

Other broccoli recipes? How about sauteed in walnut oil, tossed with walnuts and served over pasta with a hard Italian cheese?
W started this one after we picked up the most awesome walnut oil in the Dordogne. We were riding on the "Route of the Walnut" (seriously and I did get to see the giant walnut and visit the walnut museum
) There was a boutique walnut press that was using an "old-fashioned" method for extracting the oil. The process was all manual and the walnut paste was heated with wood. Fascinating to watch and we've never been able to get walnut oil of the same flavor quality anywhere else. Unlike olive oil, you want walnut oil where the walnuts were heated.
