This recipe was clipped from an old newspaper and found in a large collection, date unknown but likely 1940s or 1950s. I’ve typed it below along with a scanned copy.

BROCCOLI
With Golden Cheese Sauce

Broccoli is best when placed in boiling salt water, heads up, and cooked quickly for 15 minutes. For the Gourmet touch serve with this golden cheese sauce.

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 egg slightly beaten
Salt and pepper

Melt butter and blend in flour. Add milk and cook stirring constantly until mixture comes to boil. Remove from heat, add cheese and stir until melted. Stir in slightly beaten egg and cook, stirring constantly for just a minute or two. Season and ladle over hot broccoli.
