  14. Heat over low heat for approximately 2–3 minutes, stirring continuously until the cream cheese becomes smooth.

  15. Remove the skillet from direct heat.

  16. Allow it to cool slightly, then whisk in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  17. Divide the warm broccoli evenly between 4 bowls.
