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!

How To Make ~ saucy cheddar broccoli & cauliflower bake ~

  • 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.
