"Just a bit of a different way to cook broccoli. A quick pan saute and then tossed with garlic, cheese croutons, a little spice, and butter. Easy, quick, inexpensive and it pretty much goes with anything."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Broccoli ... Add one (1) tablespoon of the butter to a medium saute pan along with the broccoli, red pepper flakes, onion, and garlic. Saute on medium high heat until tender, but still crisp. A non stick pan is what I prefer.
Step 2
Finish ... Once the broccoli and onions are tender, add the remaining butter (1/2 to 1 tablespoon, depending on how you like it), croutons, and season with salt and pepper; saute another minute to combine. To crush the croutons, simply add to a baggie and use the palm of your hand. You do not want them TOO fine.
Step 3
Serve and ENJOY!
