Cauliflower and Broccoli Cheesy Bake
Posted on | December 3, 2007 | | Printer Friendly
The quest to use up all of the vegetables from our veggie basket continues with a basic cauliflower and broccoli casserole. When dinnertime rolled around, there were three main requirements for this meal: we needed to use up a head of cauliflower, a head of broccoli and there had to be cheese.. lots of cheese.
A quick Google search turned up this Cauliflower and Broccoli Cheesy Bake. It easily fit all of my criteria. Yay!
Putting it all together was pretty quick and painless. Not. On Sunday, I turned into Betty Butterfingers and dropped everything. In the morning, I broke the bottle of maple syrup and dropped an egg on the floor. For this recipe, I dropped cauliflower bits all over the floor as I tried to empty them into the garbage. Disaster after disaster I tell you.
In the end, it looked great as it went into the oven. And topped with homemade bread breadcrumbs to boot. That new bread machine is the best toy ever.
And the final result?
Cheesey and gooey with a crispy topping. I think it could have used more flavour. It’s probably my fault - the recipe called for a sharp cheddar and I only had a mild cheddar on hand. I also used cinnamon rather than nutmeg. (After the potato muffins, I think nutmeg and I might be breaking up.)
Boyfriendly rating: 3/5 “cheesy, but probably not a keeper recipe”
