Story

Getting kids to eat their vegetables usually takes some ingenuity. This is a pretty simple dish that really satisfies. Using just the florets of the broccoli helps with the kid-friendliness, but the added cheese completes the task in grand style. Don't be afraid to add as much cheese as it takes to make this dish one of your kids' favorite.
