Savory rich parmesan, crispy buttery ritz and wholesome broccoli. Parmesan and Ritz Broccoli

A few years ago, while working 50 plus hours a week with a 2-hour commute (hour each way,) I would come home exhausted. No food prepped and not much energy to make anything. One day, I whipped this recipe up Parmesan and Ritz Broccoli and fell in love with it. I needed something that I could quickly make, was nutritional and could be done in minutes. It was a dish I could indulge in (no matter time of day or how late it was.) The ritz crackers and parmesan added a wonderful richness to the broccoli.
