Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices seedy bread
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp mayonnaise
- 2 cups broccoli (crown and stalks, chopped small)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions
- Broccoli: add chopped broccoli and a splash of water to a saute pan over medium heat. Cover and allow to steam 3-4 minutes. Remove lid, add garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cook uncovered for another 2-3 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender.
