Editors Review
My kids and husband never touch steamed broccoli but when I make this cheesy broccoli gratin, they ask for seconds and there is rarely any leftovers. It is a great way to get your family to eat healthy broccoli and cheese isn't that bad for you if you balance out the rest of the meal by serving baked skinless chicken or fish.Chef
