6 cups fresh broccoli, rinsed and cut into bite-sizes florets Sauce: 1 cup evaporated milk, fat-free 1 Tbsp cornstarch ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded, low-fat ¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce ¼ tsp hot sauce 1 slice whole wheat bread, toasted (for croutons)
Bring a large pot of water to boil over medium-high heat. Add fresh broccoli and cook until easily pierced by a fork (approximately 7-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
