Broccoli is good for you. Discuss

And to start off in true gluttonous style, here's a recipe for broccoli baked potatoes that even a fairly ham handed cook can make (although it doesn't actually have ham, you understand.)

Ingredients

• 4 baking potatoes
• 300g broccoli, cut into small florets
• 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
• 1 egg, beaten
• 140g grated cheddar 

Method

1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Microwave the potatoes on High for 12-15 mins until tender. Meanwhile, steam or boil the broccoli for 3 mins, then drain well. When the potatoes have cooled a little, cut them in half lengthways and scoop the insides into a bowl.
2. Put the potato shells on a baking sheet. Mash the flesh with a fork, then stir in the mustard, egg, most of the cheese and the broccoli. Season if needed, then pile back into the shells. Sprinkle with the reserved cheese and bake for 15 mins until the tops are crisp and golden.

Variations

I used some parmesan for the topping, which worked just fine.
Being predictably desi, I used paprika liberally, along with mustard, and it kinda worked!
