Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 medium head Broccoli
- 2 large Carrots
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Cut the cauliflower and broccoli into small florets. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds. Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Then add the carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli, and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Drain the vegetables and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
Season the sauce with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated.
Spread the cooked vegetables evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully coated.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, and olive oil together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a main dish or side dish.
