  • 1 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 Pound Broccoli florets

  • Brown your bacon. The longer you cook the bacon the crispier it will be.
  • Once the bacon has cooked, remove and allow to drain on a paper towel.
  • Leave the bacon grease in the pan and sautee your onions for about 3 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
  • Next, add in your broccoli and garlic. Allow to cook for 3-5 minutes until the broccoli is vibrant in color and is tender.
  • Reduce your heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
  • Add in the cooked bacon.
  • Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Allow the cheese to melt for a few minutes. If you prefer, you could stick the skillit in the oven under the broiler to melt the cheese to a light golden brown.
  • Optional to top with crushed red pepper flakes.
