Notes
- Fresh OR frozen vegetables can be used in this recipe.
- 500g of fresh broccoli and cauliflower take 30 minutes to cook, depending on how big you have cut your veggies.
- 500g of frozen vegetables take 20 minutes to cook.
- We have used a 5″ x 9″ (12 x 23cm) baking dish in this recipe.
- Cut florets roughly the same size so they will all finish cooking at the same time.
- We have used full-fat cream and shredded cheese but you certainly can use a light version of these. It still comes out beautifully creamy.
