While high-heat oven roasting may remain the gold standard for cooking most vegetables, some benefit from steaming for a few minutes longer than you might think necessary. Slightly overcooked broccoli develops a soft, almost creamy texture, especially after basting it with butter. Add it to breakfast dishes.

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch broccoli (about 450 g), trimmed and cut into large florets
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Preparation:

Step 1
• Place the steamer basket in a 3-quart saucepan. Add enough water to come to the bottom of the basket. Bring the water to a boil. Place the broccoli florets in the basket, cover, and steam until the broccoli is tender but still holds its shape, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
• Transfer the broccoli to a large bowl. Add the butter and toss gently, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
