Broccoli Cheese Appetizer

My son Loooves broccoli. It's so funny. I mean it's right up there with fruit snacks and dum-dums. I'm not going to tell him it's actually good for him. So, recently I've been trying to find recipes that have "brotly" in it, as he would say. And this recipe is in honor of him today. {he's two today!!}

This is one of the easiest and yummiest appetizers. But, I have to say, make sure you cook it until it's bubbling. I pulled it out a bit early because I was being impatient. Hey, you would be too if you knew what was coming! Enjoy.
