Cheese sauce is a great way to get kids to eat broccoli (or cauliflower). Involving the children in the preparation helps take the yuckiness out of vegetables for them.

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch broccoli
  • Cheese Sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded extra  old cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 Pinch cayenne pepper

Preparation

Cheese Sauce: In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; whisk in flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese, salt, pepper, mustard and cayenne pepper until cheese is melted. (Make-ahead: Transfer to microwaveable container; let cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Reheat in microwave.)

Meanwhile, cut broccoli into florets; peel and cut stems into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices. Place in steamer over boiling water; cover and steam until tender-crisp, about 6 minutes.

Transfer to serving platter. Pour cheese sauce over broccoli.

Additional information : Variation
Steamed Cauliflower with Cheese Sauce: Replace broccoli with 1 head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets. Increase steaming time to 9 minutes.
