Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm broccoli and cauliflower: Look for florets that are deep green or white, with no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • Cut the vegetables into evenly sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Blanch the vegetables before baking: This step helps to tenderize the vegetables and preserve their color.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: Cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also use Gruyère, Parmesan, or Fontina.
  • Season the gratin well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Top the gratin with breadcrumbs before baking: This will give it a golden-brown crust.
  • Bake the gratin until it is bubbly and golden brown: This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Let the gratin cool slightly before serving: This will help it to set.

Conclusion:

Broccoli cauliflower gratin is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
