Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced carrots
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk (warm)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Wash and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Steam for 5–7 minutes until just tender.
  3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to create a roux and cook 1–2 minutes.
  4. Gradually whisk in warm milk. Cook until sauce thickens, about 3–5 minutes.
  5. Stir in garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Add cheddar and Parmesan, stirring until melted.
  6. Place steamed vegetables in a large bowl. Pour cheese sauce over and gently combine.
  7. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with breadcrumbs if using.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden. Broil for 2–3 minutes for a crispier top.
  9. Let rest 5–10 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Adjust the vegetable quantities based on personal preference or availability.
  • The casserole can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave or oven.
