Add The Broccoli Florets And Boil For 3-5 Minutes Or Until Just Tender Enough So That A Fork Can Easily Pierce The Floret, But Still Firm. Strain And Rinse With Cold Water To Stop The Cooking. 2 While The Water In Step One Is Coming To A Boil, Cook The Bacon Pieces On Medium Heat In A Frying Pan Until Lightly Browned, But Not Crisp. Remove To A Plate Lined With Paper Towels To Absorb The Excess Fat. Set Aside. 3 Preheat Oven To 425
