Ingredients
- 1 head (1 to 1 1/4 pounds) broccoli (diced pretty small florets and tender stems)
- 1 medium yellow onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup croutons (cheese croutons, lightly crushed)
- 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons butter
- Red pepper flakes, pinch
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make
-
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!
