This recipe got DH to eat broccoli and really like it! I made a 2 serving size and baked it a a smaller oval dish. The 2 Tbsp of heavy cream became fat free evaporated milk for me and it was still excellent. I think I'd like bigger chunks but thats a personal texture choice and wouldn't have a bearing the the flavor at all. Thanks Kittzen :D
