Think loaded fries, but broccoli cheese style. Crispy jumbo crinkles, blanched & roasted broccoli, a combination of aged cheddar and melty Monterey Jack, silky, hot white queso, and greens. So snackable 🙂

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Empty about 1/3 of the jar of the white queso into a small pot. Cover and set to medium low to heat up until service. Stir a couple times as it loosens up / heats. You MAY want more, I didn't measure so this is an estimate.
Preheat your oven to 425 F according to package directions. Get your fries onto a large baking sheet covered in parchment. Make sure the tray is large enough to accommodate your broccoli also when the time comes. Once preheated, add your fries to to the oven.
As your oven preheats, start heating a medium sized pot of cold water on high to bring it to a boil. Once boiled, add your florets and let them go about 5 minutes. Strain and let dry.
After the fries have had about 10 minutes in the oven, remove the tray and flip them. Get your broccoli into a small mixing bowl and drizzle over some EVOO. Season with salt, pepper, and pepper flakes, toss, and add the florets in a single layer to your tray. Return the tray to the oven for 10 minutes. Flip everything again and return to the oven until your fries are golden and crisp. Make sure to season your fries with salt prior to serving.
For service, divide your fries between two plates and add some florets to each plate. Top with some of each of the shredded cheeses followed by drizzling the hot queso over each plate. Finish with some green onions and pea shoots. I hope you ENJOY this cheesy mess of a plate as much as I did 🙂

Notes

Admittedly, I didn't measure the queso. You may need more depending on how smothered you want your fries.
