Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups cauliflower florets
2 1/2 cups broccoli florets
2 (6 ounce) bags baby spinach leaves
6 tablespoons butter, 3/4 stick
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup whole milk

Rinse spinach, then toss in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just wilted. Drain and cool. Squeeze spinach dry; finely chop. Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk and reserved 2/3 cup vegetable cooking liquid. Whisk constantly over medium heat until sauce thickens and boils, about 3 minutes. Stir in spinach and cheese. Using fingers, coarsely crumble cauliflower and broccoli in bowl. Add spinach béchamel sauce; stir to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Butter 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Spread vegetable mixture in prepared dish. DO AHEAD Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake flan until puffed and heated through, about 25 minutes if at room temperature and 35 minutes if chilled. Serve hot.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

The flan was delicious, but the bechamel sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. Next time I'll try using a thinner sauce.

I'm not usually a fan of cauliflower, but this recipe changed my mind. The flan was light and fluffy, with a rich and creamy bechamel sauce. The spinach added a nice pop of color and flavor.
