Ingredients
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus extra at room temperature for greasing the baking dish
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half
2 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar, divided
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a large baking dish with butter and add the broccoli and cauliflower. Roast until slightly browned, about 15 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, whisk in the flour and let it cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Turn the heat off, whisk in the half-and-half, then turn the heat up to high and keep whisking to avoid the flour from clumping. Add the Cheddar, salt and pepper and whisk until the cheese is melted.
- Remove the broccoli and cauliflower from the oven and pour the Cheddar mixture over the top. Sprinkle evenly with the breadcrumbs and bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
