Cauliflower & Broccoli Bake

Cauliflower & Broccoli Bake

White Sauce

Preheat the oven at 180°C.

White Sauce
In a bowl, mix the melted butter and flour. Add the milk little by little while stirring continuously until thick. Season to taste. Set aside.

Cauliflower & Broccoli Bake
Cook cauliflower and broccoli in salted boiling water until just soft. Drain well. Place in a serving dish.

Pour the white sauce over the cauliflower and broccoli. Sprinkle grated cheddar over and bake for 20 – 25 minutes until golden and bubbling.

HINTS & TIPS:

• Drain cooked broccoli and cauliflower very well before pouring the sauce over to prevent sauce from becoming watery.
• Mix 125 ml breadcrumbs with 45 ml melted butter and mix with the grated cheddar for a crunchy topping.
• For a loaded cauliflower & broccoli bake – Fry 1 chopped onion and 200 g chopped bacon in a little oil until golden and add to the white sauce before pouring it over. Sprinkle extra grated cheddar over and bake at 180°C for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden.
