Cauliflower and Broccoli Mornay image

DH requested a change from steaming the broccoli and cauliflower and suggested a cheese sauce. The following is what was created. As I didn't measure the ingredients except for the milk for the cheese sauce I have approximated what I used. When making sauce use a whisk. UPDATE - please feel free to incorporate other vegies we have included carrot and or mushrooms and if wanting a one pot meal some cooked shredded chicken also goes well.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets
1 1/2 tablespoons plain flour (all purpose)
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups milk (I use hi-lo, warm milk)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (grated, I use sharp vintage)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 175°C.
  • Blanch broccoli and cauliflower florets in boil water for a minute and then drain and refresh under cold water.
  • Put into a small casserole dish (mine is 1 quart/1 litre).
  • For the Cheese Sauce melt butter in a small pot over medium heat and then add flour and cook for 2 minutes and then add the warm milk and whisk, once all lumps are removed you can use a wooden spoon, cook till thicken and then take of the heat and add the 1/2 cup cheddar and stir till melted.
  • Mix up the second 1/2 up of cheddar and mozzarella.
  • Pour cheese sauce over the cauliflower and broccoli and then sprinkled the mixed cheeses over and put in the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
