Cheesy but healthy broccoli

I said : Let's have a light dinner! I mean, no steak, no sausages, no burger... What do we have as a veggy? Broccoli.... OK!!! I'm not on a diet but sometimes you really need something lighter...








INGREDIENTS:
Serving: 2-3

1 big broccoli
3-4 large slices of ham
100g Gruyer cheese
50g Pecorino cheese 
salt
chilly
EVO oil

1. Divide broccoli head into florets and cook them in non-salted water till half done. Drain them carefully.
Note: Why not to salt the water? If you boil green veggies without salt, they will keep their nice green colour. You can always salt them later, cannot you? 


2. In a pot pour some EVO oil and distribute nicely the florets. 
3. Rip ham into small parts and insert them in between the florets.
4. Add salt, chilly and pour some more oil.


 
5. Grate finely Pecorino cheese and coarse way Gruyer cheese. Mix them.
6. Spread the cheese mix over the broccoli generously. 

 7. Cook in preheated oven at 200C for 20 minutes then increase the heat till 220 and cook for 10 minutes more till it's golden on top.
   
To those who said not to like how broccoli smells while it boils dedicated!
