Instructions

1. Preheat the broiler to medium heat if your broiler has that option.
2. Fry the bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crisp. Move it to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
3. Pour off most of the bacon fat, leaving 1 to 2 tablespoons in the pan. Melt the butter in the same pan, add the onion and cook about 2 minutes until translucent, scraping up the browned bits.
4. Add the broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring now and then, until it just turns bright green.
5. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Pour in the cream, lower the heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring now and then, until the sauce thickens to your liking. If it is still too thin, stir in the cornstarch slurry.
7. Add the bacon and stir everything together.
8. Scatter the mozzarella and parmesan over the top. Broil for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden and the broccoli is done to your liking.
9. Add a little extra pepper if you like, then serve.
