Easy cheesy vegetable bake
YOU NEED:
Cauliflower – half head, broken into florets
Broccoli – half head, broken into florets
Carrot – 2, sliced
Courgette – 1, sliced
Frozen Peas – 3 tbsp
Butter – 50g
Flour – 50g
Mustard powder – 1 tsp
Arla Big Milk – 500ml
Strong cheddar – 120g grated
Nutmeg – pinch
Black pepper – to season
Breadcrumbs – 20g
MAKE IT:
1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a large pan, cook the cauliflower and carrots in boiling salted water for 5 mins. Add the broccoli, courgetti & peas and cook for 3 mins more.
2. Drain well once cooked. (I like to lay mine out on kitchen paper to soak up any excess water). Transfer the cooked veggies to an ovenproof dish.
3. To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a pan. When foaming, add the flour & mustard powder, and cook for 1 min, stirring constantly. Take off the heat and add the Arla Big Milk, a little at a time, stirring constantly to get rid of any lumps.
4. Once half the milk has been added, return to the heat and add remaining milk. Keep stirring and bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 2 mins, until thickened and smooth. Add 100g of the cheese and season with nutmeg and black pepper. Mix the remaining cheese in a bowl with the breadcrumbs.
5. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs & cheese mix. Cook in the oven for 20 mins until bubbling.
