Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 3 minutes. Drain immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for about 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and add the cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 6
Add the blanched broccoli to the cheese sauce, mixing gently to coat the broccoli completely in the cheese sauce.
Step 7
Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika, stirring to combine all the flavors.
Step 8
Transfer the broccoli and cheese mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Step 9
