Yum! delicious!  I don't really like broccoli (bad experience once with Chinese food and broccoli) but if you drench it in cheese, it tastes really good!  Definitely making this again!  Although, probably not that healthy for you.  I tried to minimize the amount of cheese used as much as possible.  You can also add some Parmesan cheese if you want to use less cheese since Parmesan has a stronger flavor.  As you can see from the picture, I already dug in before I could take nice artistic pictures... it turned out that well!
