      🧈 Very Buttered Broccoli with Crispy Panko

      Ingredients:

      • 1 whole head of broccoli, cut into small florets
      • 2–3 tablespoons butter
      • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
      • Salt, to taste
      • Optional (for adults): crumbled feta cheese, balsamic glaze

      Instructions:

      1. Blanch the broccoli:
        • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
        • Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2–3 minutes, until bright green and just tender.
        • Drain and let rest for 5 minutes to cool and dry slightly.
      2. Sauté the broccoli:
        • In a pan, melt the butter over low heat.
        • Add the broccoli and sauté for 3–5 minutes, stirring gently so it absorbs the butter.
        • Season with salt.
      3. Add panko:
        • Sprinkle in the panko breadcrumbs and stir well to coat everything in butter.
        • Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the panko turns golden brown and crispy.
      4. Serve:
        • For kids: Serve warm as-is — buttery, crunchy, and satisfying.
        • For adults: Top with crumbled feta cheese and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a savory-sweet upgrade that’s sure to earn compliments.
