  Prepare a medium-light white sauce (start with 1 1/4 cup milk, 1 scant
  teaspoon cornstarch, etc.).  Stir in the cheese and let the heat of
  the sauce melt it.  Add bitters, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  
  Place cooked broccoli in a 1 to 1-1/2 qt casserole.  Pour sauce over
  top to cover and coat broccoli.  Top with buttered crumbs (1/3 cup
  seasoned (Italian)  bread crumbs, 1 Tablespoon softened butter).
  Bake 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes until bubbly.
  
  Romanoff Variation - Add 1 tablespoon sour cream to the cheese sauce
  and substitute Worchestershire sauce for the bitters.  Omit crumbs
  and toss with chopped, fresh parsley.
