    • 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
    • 2 lbs broccoli, bite size pieces
    • 1 large onion, chopped
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon

    • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

      I never thought to use tarragon in this, I need to try it. I like the idea of melting the cheese under the broiler too.

        I usually use basil actually, but a lil twist makes a dish quite different but same-same :)
