Freshly sautéed broccoli and fragrant garlic are baked in a rich cream sauce topped with broiled mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Creamy Parmesan Garlic Broccoli is guaranteed to convert any non-broccoli lover into a full-blown fanatic!
Preheat broiler. Melt the butter in a cast iron pan over medium heat.
Add the onion and cook until transparent, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the broccoli and garlic and season with salt and pepper and cook while stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes, or until bright in color and fragrant.
Stir in the cream cheese, cream and paprika, reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for about 3-4 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Squeeze in the lemon and stir again.
Top with the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Place in the oven. Broil until cheese is bubbling and golden, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle with a pinch of Aleppo pepper and serve.
Notes
Serve warm and enjoy the rich flavors of garlic and cheese with tender broccoli.
