1 tablespoon mustard powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pinch paprika, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with 2 teaspoons butter.
  • Core and cut cauliflower into large florets. Cut broccoli into large florets; peel and quarter broccoli stalks.

Transfer broccoli to strainer and run under cold water to stop cooking. Dry cauliflower and broccoli with paper towels and place in prepared baking dish.

Whisk in Cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Pour cheese sauce over cauliflower and broccoli. Rap baking dish on counter a few times to remove air bubbles.
