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
1. Cook cauliflower and broccoli in salted boiling water until just soft. Drain well. Place in a serving dish.

2. 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:

1. Drain cooked broccoli and cauliflower very well before pouring the sauce over to prevent sauce from becoming watery.

2. Mix 125 ml breadcrumbs with 45 ml melted butter and mix with the grated cheddar for a crunchy topping.

3. 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.
