    Can substitute broccoli for broccolini.

    We thought these were great beside our dinner soup. I used a steamer basket for the broccoli, cooking longer than suggested. I spread our bread with a garlicky, herby "snail butter" before broiling & used only the lemon zest (no juice). The pecorino gave this some punch & these will get again for sure.

    I substituted Parmesan for the pecorino and much preferred its milder flavor.

    I had high hopes for the simplicity and family-friendliness of this dish, but ultimately it was only okay. I didn't cook the broccoli well enough (totally my fault) but I also didn't love the lemon and felt that the broccoli needed more...something. Maybe more cheese mixed in? It just wasn't rich and savory and melty like I expect a melt to be.
