2. Heat cast iron pan over medium-high and drizzle in oil. Add broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and arrange so flat sides make contact with pan

4. When broccoli has a nice dark brown sear on one side, sprinkle the cheddar over the broccoli. Keep cooking for a minute or two
5. Put onto plates and add red pepper flakes and/or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired
