Ingredients
Serves Six
1 large cauliflower, cut into florets
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
50g/1¾oz butter, plus extra for cooking the leeks
baby leeks (approx. 150g/5½oz), sliced
500ml/18fl oz milk
4 tbsp flour
200g/7oz mature cheddar, grated
6 tbsp fresh breadcrumbs
1 large cauliflower, cut into florets
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
50g/1¾oz butter, plus extra for cooking the leeks
baby leeks (approx. 150g/5½oz), sliced
500ml/18fl oz milk
4 tbsp flour
200g/7oz mature cheddar, grated
6 tbsp fresh breadcrumbs
salt and pepper
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.2. Cook the cauliflower and broccoli in boiling water for 5–6 minutes until just tender. Drain well and tip into a deep baking dish.
3. Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan and fry the leeks for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently until softened. Arrange them in the dish with the florets.
4. Heat the milk, flour and butter in a saucepan over a medium heat, whisking constantly until the sauce comes to the boil and thickens. Reduce the heat and whisk over a low heat for 1–2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in 150g/5½oz of the grated cheese and season to taste.
5. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and the remaining cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Now that looks delicious!! mmmmm
Looks good. Not sure about the leeks...Never tried them
Yum
Sounds delicious!
Sounds like a great casserole that could be eaten by itself or would go well with a piece of chicken or fish on the side. Or, if you had a little left over ham, you could chop that up and add it.
...a nice dish for a cold night.
Yum.
This looks so good! I'm definitely going to try this! Thanks for sharing x K
Delicious!
Gracias por la receta. Se ve deliciosa. Te mando un beso
Another delicious meal

Jan! This looks amazing...as usual. Broccoli and cheese together are my weakness! Thanks for sharing.

Can't wait to make this one Jan. Thanks for another winner :)
Delicious, a favourite of ours with fish.
That sounds interesting with the sauce, I´ll try that, added to favs :-)

As I was reading this Jan I was thinking cauliflower tick, leeks tick, broccoli tick, cheese tick.. yup it's all there and will go perfectly with a nice piece of salmon.. thanks once again :)
That looks delicious, I'm sure it tastes just as good as it looks.
Hello,
I would love this casserole, yum! Thanks for sharing.
Take care, have a great weekend!
This sounds amazing, thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.
This does indeed look delicious! I haven't had cauliflower cheese of any description for ages ... and love the idea of adding broccoli. Thank you to Jan for your kind comments on my blog.
My husband's a cauliflower nut, so he would love this. I'm not into cauliflower, but with the sauce, it might be nice :)
This sounds delicious.
Well I left a message and then got an error....here's to trying again. That looks good and if you have ever been to the southern states in the US you know that us southern folk love anything you can make a casserole out of!!
This is one of my favourite dishes. Love all the ingredients, and it's easy to make.
Looks delicious!
Sound great.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Oh gosh! You share the most amazing delicious dishes.
I've never had leek, but everything else about it sounds good.
I made something like this other day with lactose free stuff and added mushrooms instead of leek. I must try the leeks next time. I put some walnuts on mine and was a nice combination.
I have been a week now on low carbs. Doing 50g a day. Managing okay with being a veggie and lactose intolerant. Thank goodness for nuts haha and I have never had a sweet tooth either so that helps too as not craving sweets or chocolate and was never into drinking juice or coke or such! Just coffee, tea and water.
Yum!
Now this looks delicious, a few of my favourite things topped with cheese, yum! xx
Una receta muy sabrosa. Besos.
that photo looks delicious. I have never heard of "mature" cheddar.
Boa tarde, obrigado por nos trazer essa receita maravilhosa.
One of the many great things about this blog is it reminds me on recipes I used to make.
Definitely time for a rerun of a Broccoli and/or Cauliflower cheese dish.
Thanks for the recipe.
Love veggie casserolel!
