Vegetable Melange Au Gratin With Cheese White Sauce image

The sauce makes this recipe Outta This World! Very elegant and not very time consuming. This really is a wonderfully delicious dish. I think I will make it tonight! (It's easier to make than it looks, and you can serve with regular White Sauce, omitting the cheddar cheese.)
