   Fry the 2 strips of bacon over medium heat in a medium skillet until crisp. Remove the bacon and reserve the fat in the skillet. Chop the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. Add the butter to the skillet. When butter starts to foam, add the shallot and cook on medium heat until tender. About half way through cooking the shallot, add the garlic. Once tender, add the heavy cream, and broth gradually, whisking constantly. Sprinkle flour and continue whisking. When the flour is fully integrated, add cheese, horseradish and red pepper, whisking. Add broccoli, parsley and lemon juice, lemon zest and continue whisking until slightly thick.
