    Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F).

    Wash and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Place them in a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for about 3 minutes until tender yet crisp. Drain and set aside.

    3

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once heated, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    4

    Add the cooked broccoli to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and stir gently for about 2 minutes, ensuring the broccoli is well coated with the olive oil and garlic.

    5

    Transfer the broccoli mixture into a baking dish, and sprinkle evenly with cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese.

    6

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Once done, take it out of the oven, allow it to cool for a couple of minutes, and serve warm.
