6 mins
Prepare the Broccoli: Place the thawed broccoli florets in a steamer basket set over 1 inch of boiling water. Cover and steam until the broccoli is tender-crisp, about 2-6 minutes. Be careful not to overcook – we want it to retain a slight bite.

Assemble and Season: Drain the steamed broccoli thoroughly and transfer it to a microwave-safe casserole dish. Pour the melted butter evenly over the broccoli, then season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the buttered broccoli. Microwave on high until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 1 minute. Watch closely to prevent burning.
For a richer flavor, try using a combination of cheddar and Gruyere cheese.
A squeeze of lemon juice after microwaving can brighten the flavors.
If you prefer, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
