Instructions
Prepare the Broccoli

Marinate and Bake
- Add the blanched broccoli to the cheese sauce and gently toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator (or longer for a more intense flavor).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread the marinated broccoli in a greased baking dish.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden brown.
Serve
- Serve the creamy baked broccoli hot, optionally garnished with mint chutney.
