Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray or a small amount of butter.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add cream cheese and heavy cream, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy.
Stir in 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In the casserole dish, combine the broccoli and cauliflower. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the vegetables, making sure they are well coated.
Top the casserole with the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole for a crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
