~ Saucy Cheddar Broccoli & Cauliflower Bake ~ image

A delicious cheesy white sauce makes these veggies oh so good! I like to mix the two veggies, but you could also use one or the other. Either way, if not a lover of these veggies, you will be after you try them. This delicious dish could be served as a side with just about anything. They were devoured by my family. Enjoy!

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 c each - broccoli & cauliflower florets - steamed just until tender - ( or boil in salted water )
CHEESE SAUCE
2 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp each - salt & pepper
pinch nutmeg
1 1/2 Tbsp dried chives
2 c milk
3/4 c sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 c parmesan cheese
TOPPING
1/2 c seasoned panko crumbs
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 Tbsp melted butter

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare your vegetables - either by steaming or boiling in salted water. Only cook until tender as they will cook more in oven and you don't want mushy vegetables. In a medium saucepan melt your butter over medium heat. Whisk into the butter your flour and cook for at least a minute, stirring continuously. Whisk in the milk and stir until thickened.
  • 2. Remove from heat and stir in the salt, pepper, chives, nutmeg and cheeses. Stir until cheese is melted. Preheat oven to 375 degree F.
  • 3. Pour 1/3 sauce into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Place the vegetables over the sauce and evenly pour remaining sauce over the vegetables.
  • 4. In a small bowl, mix Panko crumbs with the cheese. Sprinkle evenly over the top of casserole. Drizzle melted butter over the crumbs.
  • 5. Place in oven and bake for 25 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
