Brocolli and cauliflower cheese bake

This bake serves about 8-10 people as a side, or we have it for lunch with a small tin of tuna!

Ingredients (serves 8)

1 Head of Broccoli, cut into florets
1 Head of Cauliflower, cut into florets
2 Quantities of Cheese or White Sauce (made your way)
1 Great big handful of grated tasty cheese
Smoked Paprika

Method

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees (fan forced). Steam the florets for approximately 3-6 minutes in the microwave until just cooked.
Add to large baking dish.
Pour over the white sauce, grated cheese and sprinkle with smoked paprika.
Cook uncovered for about 50-60 minutes.

Notes

Everyone has their own variation - ours is quite cheesy and I always make a roux for the white sauce, whereas you might prefer to thicken the milk with cornflour. Either way, season the sauce with salt and pepper too.
