Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons butter
2 heads cauliflower
2 heads broccoli
½ cup butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
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.
  • Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil; add cauliflower and boil until tender but still firm, 8 to 10 minutes.

Add broccoli stalks to stockpot and boil 3 minutes; add broccoli florets to stockpot and boil until stalks and florets are tender but still firm, about 5 minutes more. 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.

4 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream

Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 egg yolk
2 cups grated white cheese such as Vermont Cheddar, Gruyere or Swiss

Steps:

Tips:

  • Fresh vegetables: Use fresh and crisp cauliflower and broccoli for the best flavor and texture.
  • Steam the vegetables properly: Steaming the vegetables before baking helps them retain their vibrant color and slightly crunchy texture.
  • Use a creamy cheese sauce: A combination of Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar cheeses creates a rich and flavorful sauce for the vegetables.
  • Season well: Don't forget to season the cheese sauce with salt, pepper, and garlic powder for a well-balanced flavor.
  • Top with breadcrumbs: A layer of crispy breadcrumbs adds a nice texture contrast to the creamy cheese sauce and tender vegetables.
  • Broil for a golden crust: Broiling the casserole for a few minutes at the end of baking gives it a golden brown and bubbly top.
