  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

  • Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh broccoli for the best texture. If using frozen, thaw and drain well to avoid excess moisture.
  • Sharp cheddar adds the most flavor, but Monterey Jack or Gouda work well for a milder taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
