💡 Make sure to blanch broccoli for just 1 minute to maintain its firmness and vibrant color.Use freshly grated cheese for better melt and texture compared to pre-shredded cheese.For a crunchier topping, use panko breadcrumbs instead of crackers.If you want a vegetarian version, replace bacon with sautéed mushrooms or omit it entirely.
