Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets from 2 broccoli crowns
- 3 cups cauliflower florets about 1 small head
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup leeks thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the broccoli and cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes; drain and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the milk, yogurt, cornstarch, smoked paprika, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a bowl or glass measuring cup.
- Pour the milk mixture into the skillet and bring it to a low simmer. Then, sprinkle in the cheese and whisk until smooth; remove from the heat. Pour in the broccoli and cauliflower and stir to combine so that the veggies are coated in the cheese sauce.
- Transfer everything to a 9x9 baking dish. Sprinkle the casserole with breadcrumbs and bake it for 20 minutes, then broil for 2-5 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, being careful not to burn them. Enjoy!
