A delicious cheesy white sauce makes these veggies oh so good! I like to mix the two veggies, but you could also use one or the other. Either way, if not a lover of these veggies, you will be after you try them. This delicious dish could be served as a side with just about anything. They were devoured by my family.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

How to Make ~ Saucy Cheddar Broccoli & Cauliflower Bake ~
- Prepare your vegetables - either by steaming or boiling in salted water. Only cook until tender as they will cook more in oven and you don't want mushy vegetables.
In a medium saucepan melt your butter over medium heat. Whisk into the butter your flour and cook for at least a minute, stirring continuously.
Whisk in the milk and stir until thickened. - Remove from heat and stir in the salt, pepper, chives, nutmeg and cheeses. Stir until cheese is melted.
Preheat oven to 375 degree F. - Pour 1/3 sauce into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Place the vegetables over the sauce and evenly pour remaining sauce over the vegetables.
- In a small bowl, mix Panko crumbs with the cheese. Sprinkle evenly over the top of casserole. Drizzle melted butter over the crumbs.
- Place in oven and bake for 25 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted.
Serve immediately.
