    I made this per the recipe with broccolini but with sliced goat cheddar melted on top, which was delicious. My teen surprised me by asking for seconds! Deb’s usually good about streamlining, but I don’t see why it’s necessary to drain and dry the broccolini, instead I allowed it to dry completely on the heat and proceeded with the recipe. So easy!

    These are delicious. The final result does depend on the quality of your bread, but one time my bread went moldy and we ended up serving it on waffles which was surprisingly good! Even the broccoli mixture on its own is great.

    Excellent; we enjoyed them. Couple notes: cut the broccoli into small florets and microwaved on high 2 min. Much faster and just as good as blanching them in boiling water. Also used left over garlic butter (recipe p. 144) and that really added! Used LaBrea Bakery 3 Cheese Semolina bread.

    These were very good - I used colby jack on some toasts and provolone on the others and most preferred the colby jack. It was saltier and gave it more flavor. Great use of day old bread.

    Delicious made with asparagus too.

    I loved these and was surprised since I usually don't care for broccoli and cheese. The provolone worked great on these. I subbed Parmigiano Reggiano for the Pecorino since I didn't have Pecorino on hand. I used sourdough for the toasts. I'd make these again.

    I thought these were really good! I did change it up a bit by roasting the broccoli - I prefer the texture. These were a tasty and satisfying lighter dinner.

    Just okay. Wouldn't make again.

    These were tasty and very speedy to throw together. We actually ran out of pecorino while making these, so I threw in a handful of grated emmentaler to the broccoli mixture, which tasted good as well. Nothing earth-shattering here, just a tasty vegetarian comfort-food type of sandwich.
