When done, slice the broccoli lengthways and arrange in the base of a gratin dish. Slice the hard-boiled egg as finely as you can and arrange these on top of the greens. Melt the butter in a pan and when foaming add the breadcrumbs. Cook until golden then pour the butter and crumb mixture over the broccoli. Serve immediately.
