Cheesy Broccoli Cauliflower Bake

The BEST way to make veggies. So cheesy and creamy, but it's healthy! My new favorite veggie dish!

Say YES to veggies!

Especially if those veggies involve a creamy garlic cheese sauce that melts into them and makes them ooze goodness in every bite. And wait for it… a crispy and crunchy panko topping! This is what veggies were designed for. They were born to be smothered in white sauce.

It is their destiny

The other day, I was thinking about the meals Kyle and I usually eat on repeat. We like to experiment, obviously, but we have a few safety dinners like chicken/sweet potato bakes, steak with mac and cheese, lemon shrimp orzo, and panko-crusted salmon. Where are the veggies? Usually in the form of a boring salad that is literally just that, salad leaves. Sometime we branch out and will bake some brussels sprouts, but for the most part, our veggie intake is pretty dull.

No more I say!

Not only is this recipe easy as pie (mhmm, pie), but it comes together relatively quickly and make the whole house smell delicious! While baking in the oven, the cauliflower melts into the cheese sauce and the broccoli collects it in its florets till it’s just saturated with deliciousness. Also, do I call them florets? Mini-tree leaves? Broccoli afro? I don’t know, man, all I know is that even your picky eaters will LOVE this!  

More cheese, please.

    Hahaha broccoli afro!! Perfect word for it, seriously. And YUM, you know I love anything broccoli/cauliflower inspired!! Looks like a super delish recipe. I wouuuuld try to replicate it with vegan cheese, but vegan cheese kinda sucks. Maybe I will make it will my “healthy” alfredo sauce 😉 yeah yeah! Happy Friday!

    Yum! My husband isn’t the biggest fan of broccoli and cauliflower, but I think if I make this dish, he’ll be more apt to like it, especially when it’s covered in bread crumbs and cream cheese!

    *heart eye emoji x 34234* :) this looks ahhhhmazing!! Normally I just do a side salad or microwave some veggies but those just don’t always taste great, ya know? Loving that white dish :)

    This looks so yummy! What a great way to jazz up the veggies. My girls love broccoli, but there is something about cauliflower that they don’t like. Maybe with some cheese we can sneak this one in. Thanks!!

    Oh my goodness. YES. I don’t have a problem getting in my veggies, but I have been finding cauliflower to be so bland lately. Broccoli, cauliflower, and cheese? YES PLEASE. 😀
    Oooey, gooey cheese.. my favorite!
