Creamy Broccolini with Bacon
By Esther Boateng
Broccolini cooked in a garlicky creamy sauce with smoked bacon and a strong flavored cheese is fast becoming one of my favorite go-to breakfasts. You can even swap out the broccolini for broccoli or any leafy green vegetable such as spinach or kale; use whatever you have in your kitchen and you can’t go wrong! This dish can be prepared in approximately 30 minutes, leaving you enough time to serve it with a boiled or poached egg; it’s incredibly easy, fuss-free, and simply irresistible.

Recipe Note
I prefer to cook the bacon in the oven while I prepare the sauce. You can also cook the bacon ahead of time.
