Broccoli & Cauliflower Casserole Recipe • So Tasty! | Club Foody

 

Often, a side dish completes a dish but many times, it can be the star 🌟 of the meal! As much as I enjoy prioritizing the protein, I also like to put the meat in the back row and put my side dish under the spotlights!
 
Casseroles are a good example of bringing a simple steamed fish 🐟, an oven-baked chicken or simply grilled pork chops to an amazing feast. I think of a Vegetable Tian, my lovely Sweet Potato Casserole, a nice Italian Caponata, my Onion Soufflé, the famous Scalloped Potatoes, and many more.
 
Another one that is amazingly comforting that has my guests returning for seconds… and thirds is my delicious Broccoli & Cauliflower Casserole! It doesn’t matter if it’s Easter 🐰, Thanksgiving or during the Holidays, this recipe is always celebrated!
 
This casserole is totally a “wow” 😍! Not only is it very easy but also so tasty and satisfying! What takes the most time is to cut the vegetables into medium-size florets – don’t go any smaller or else they won’t hold their shape. After that’s done, they’re steamed for a few minutes and set aside while making the sauce.
 
What makes this delightful Broccoli & Cauliflower Casserole is obviously the cheese sauce 🧀. There are a few things I’d like to highlight. When the flour is added, it’s important to stir constantly for a couple minutes to remove the raw taste from it otherwise it will taste floury and it’s not really the flavor profile we’re looking for.
 
After the milk and chicken broth are stirred in the mixture, make sure there’s no lumps before adding the cheese. I normally mix for a couple minutes as well. I don’t use a whisk as the onions 🧅 tend to stick between the wires.
 
Anytime cheese is added to a hot mixture, it’s crucial to add a small amount at a time, stir well until it’s melted before adding more. Also reduce the heat or turn it off. These two tips will prevent the cheese from separating or getting grainy and you’ll end up with a nice smooth and creamy texture 😉.
 
I like using what ever I have in my cheese drawer. For a colorful presentation, yellow cheese is the way to go but nothing is stopping you from using white instead. Do not, and I repeat, do not use pre-grated cheese! To prevent the cheese from clumping, manufacturers add cellulose which is essentially wood pulp… Frankly, I’ve never bought any of those bags and I’m not about to.
 
This Broccoli & Cauliflower Casserole is perfect for any occasion! It’s creamy, colorful and delicious 😋… a perfect side for your proteins! Also, this casserole is a lovely way to enjoy these healthy vegetables in a flavorful cheese sauce!
Bon Appétit! 🍽
