i do this for people who don't like cauliflower. I love both so I mix it up and the broccoli adds more colour. I used leftover broccoli and cauliflower from Christmas but cooking from fresh is fine. leaving out one and using more of the other is great too

Steps

30 mins

1

cut the broccoli and cauliflower into florets the same size. bring a pan to the boil and add the florets. reduce to a simmer and cook until just cooked (a fork goes in easily)
2

drain and leave to cool in a sieve while you make the cheese sauce
3

melt the butter in a pan and add the flour. mix until combined to make a roux. keep moving about the pan for a few minutes. add a splash of milk at a time and stir thoroughly until completely combined. repeat until all milk is used up
4

Bring to the boil constantly stirring. It will start to thicken. take off the heat and add half the cheese. stir until melted
5

put the florets into a casserole dish so there is an even layer. pour over the sauce to cover the florets and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. place under a grill or in the oven until the cheese has melted with a bit of colour
