Directions

Prep 10 minCook 20 min

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a small baking dish.
2
In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with the Greek yogurt, half of the cheddar, thyme, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3
Spread the mixture into the prepared dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar evenly over the top.
4
Bake until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
5
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to help it set and make scooping easier.
