Place the broccoli florets in a pot with a couple of inches of water, set it over medium-high heat, and cover.

Steam for 5–6 minutes, or until the broccoli is as tender as you like.

Drain well, then briefly run the broccoli under cold water to stop the cooking. Return it to the warm pot off the heat.

Add the butter and stir until it melts, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Divide the broccoli into bowls and top with shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, chopped chives, and a spoonful of sour cream.
