This recipe is from the Culinary Institute of America cookbook from the 1980s, although I've made a couple of changes, namely using florets instead of spears and swiss cheese rather than blue. It's a go-to for my family. I'm pretty much putting it up here so I don't lose it (the cookbook is in pieces after so much use).
