- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese divided
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add chopped broccoli, cook and stir till crisp tender, about 4-5 minutes. Remove broccoli from skillet.
- Turn skillet to low heat, add garlic and saute for 60 seconds. Stir in the cream, parmesan, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Cook and stir till melted and creamy.

Instead of browning the cheese, you can just turn the skillet heat down to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
