Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound broccoli crowns, cut into small pieces
½ pound cauliflower, broken into small florets
¼ cup butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups half-and-half
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
⅔ cup grated Cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
.063 teaspoon paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons grated Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add broccoli and cauliflower and cook uncovered until tender yet firm to the bite, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain and transfer broccoli-cauliflower to a baking dish.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add flour and stir until browned and bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk half-and-half and Dijon mustard into butter-flour mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until cream sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir 2/3 cup Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and paprika into cream sauce; cook and stir until cheeses are melted. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over broccoli-cauliflower mixture and top with 3 tablespoons Cheddar cheese and bread crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until topping is lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

I've made this casserole several times and it's always a hit. It's easy to make and the results are delicious. I usually add a little bit of chopped ham or bacon to the casserole for extra flavor.
