- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.

- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini for more nutrition. For a creamier texture, stir in a bit of cream cheese or sour cream before adding the cheese.
