If you're looking for greens that will stand out next to a sizzling hunk of meat, try this Cheesy Broccoli and Cauliflower Skillet with crispy panko topping!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Add the cauliflower and broccoli to a large ovenproof dish or cast-iron skillet and toss to evenly distribute.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add in the shallot, season with salt and pepper and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic, whisk in the flour and cook for 30 seconds. While continuing to whisk, slowly pour in the milk. Add in the nutmeg and mustard and bring to a light boil. Cook, whisking frequently, until thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and whisk in 2 cups of the Cheddar. Add the chives, season with salt and pepper and pour the sauce over the cauliflower and broccoli.
  4. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and toss with the panko. Add the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar as well as the Parmesan and scatter over the broccoli and cauliflower.
  5. Bake until the vegetables are tender, the cheese sauce is bubbly and the top is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.

Cook’s Note

For more tender veggies, cover the skillet with foil for the first half of baking.
