How to make Cheesy Cauliflower Broccoli Bake

You’re going to create a delicious cheesy sauce for your veggies by first cooking some diced onion in butter until soft and translucent.

Then sprinkle some flower over and mix it in.

Next mix in some milk to form a thick white sauce.

Then it’s time to melt in some Velveeta cheese (or generic brand, it’s all good) that you have chopped into cubes so it will melt into the sauce faster.

Once the cheese cubes are completely melted, whisk in three slightly beaten eggs.

Then add your broccoli and cauliflower florets and toss in the sauce.

Transfer to a casserole dish and bake for about 55 minutes. I like to sprinkle a bit of fresh rosemary or thyme over the finished dish, but this is optional :0)

A very simple, yet delicious side dish, Cheesy Cauliflower Broccoli Bake will help you get in your daily serving of veggies. Enjoy, and please rate and review the recipe below for other readers. Thanks!
