Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus extra at room temperature for greasing the baking dish
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half
2 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar, divided
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a large baking dish with butter and add the broccoli and cauliflower. Roast until slightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, whisk in the flour and let it cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Turn the heat off, whisk in the half-and-half, then turn the heat up to high and keep whisking to avoid the flour from clumping. Add the Cheddar, salt and pepper and whisk until the cheese is melted.

Categories     Side dish

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small cauliflower, leaves removed and broken into small florets
1 small head broccoli, broken into small florets
50g butter
50g flour
1 tsp mustard powder
500ml milk
100g strong cheddar, or vegetarian alternative
2 tbsp snipped chives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a very large saucepan, cook the cauliflower in boiling salted water for 5 mins. Then add the broccoli and cook for 3 mins more. Drain well and transfer to a large ovenproof dish.
  • To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a small pan. When foaming, add flour and mustard powder, and cook for 1 min, stirring constantly. Take off the heat and add the milk, a little at a time, stirring constantly to get rid of any lumps. Once half the milk has been added, return to the heat and add the remaining milk. Keep stirring and bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 2 mins, until thickened and smooth. Add most of the cheese and some seasoning then take off the heat and add the chives.
  • Pour the sauce over the vegetables and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. This can be done the day before and kept covered in the fridge. Cook in the oven for 35-40 mins until bubbling, allowing an extra 5-10 mins cooking time if from the fridge.
