Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C Fan.

Place the cauliflower and broccoli in a large pan of salted water, bring to the boil and cook for 6-7 minutes until almost tender - the florets should still be fairly firm (they will cook further in the oven). Drain well.

Melt the butter in a large pan over a low heat, then whisk in the flour to form a roux. Continue to cook for a few minutes to cook out the flour taste. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly, until you have a smooth sauce. Bring to a simmer, leave to bubble and thicken for a few minutes, then remove from the heat. Add the mustard and mature Cheddar, stirring until the cheese melts.

Arrange the broccoli and cauliflower in an ovenproof dish, season well with salt and pepper, then pour over the sauce, ensuring they are fully coated. Top with the reduced-fat Cheddar then grind over a little more pepper.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden.

Нотатки

Another classic side dish, and a classic for a reason. I personally like the combination of the cauliflower and broccoli together in this, but if you'd

prefer one or the other, that's fine.

Be sure to grate your own cheeses for the sauce, as pre-grated doesn't melt well.
