Broccoli Cheese Melt

Broccoli, the green colour cauliflower also called as the "flowering top of a cabbage" is high in Vitamin C and dietary fiber. It also contains multiple nutrients with lots of anti-cancer properties in it. Kids generally refuse this vegetable if given separately or as a curry. Some kids love broccoli in any form you give. My daughter aditi loves this vegetable in any form. But I like to make some delicious dish out of broccoli for her. So, i decided to try this out.
Today I served this side dish with Corn Cheese Quesadilla for lunch.


Ingredients
Broccoli Florets - 20 or 25 small florets.
Salt - 1 pinch
Black Pepper Powder - 1 small pinch
Low fat shredded cheese - 5 tbsp.

Method
1. Wash the broccoli and spread it on a small plate nicely after its dried.
2. Cover the broccoli tray with another plate.
3. Steam or cook the broccoli in the microwave for 4-5 minutes.
4. Take it out of the microwave and sprinkle salt,pepper powder on the broccoli.
5. Finally sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the broccoli florets.
6. Keep the plate in the microwave for 50-60 seconds till the cheese gets
completely melted on the top and look like a broccoli pizza.
7. Let it cool and serve as a healthy side dish to your kids.
