Broccoli and cauliflower baked in the oven
Broccoli and cauliflower baked in the oven is a very hearty dish, and it will take no more than 15 minutes to prepare the ingredients. The hot casserole is delightful – the crust is crunchy, and the cheesy aroma envelops each floret. To keep the cooled broccoli and cauliflower baked in the oven delicious, they should be arranged on a flat plate and wrapped in plastic wrap.
Ingredients
Show ingredients
- cauliflower – 1 small head;
- broccoli – 1 small head;
- eggs – 1 pc;
- sour cream 15-20 % - 4 tbsp;
- cheese – 150 g;
- garlic – 2 cloves;
- salt – to taste;
- herbs de Provence – 1 tsp;
- vegetable oil – 20 ml.
Preparation
- Any types of cheese, differing in density and sharpness, can be used for the sauce. Preference should be given to fatty varieties.
- Cut the florets from the head of cauliflower, rinse them under running water.
- Although the stem of broccoli is considered edible, it is not needed for baking. Cut off the florets and rinse them thoroughly in water.
- Toss the broccoli and cauliflower into a pot when the salted water boils, cooking for exactly 4 minutes at a strong boil.
- For one minute, toss the florets in cold water. This is only necessary so that you can arrange the vegetables in the baking dish without burning your fingers.
- Grease the ceramic dish with oil, paying special attention to the bottom. During baking, the lower part of the florets will soak in the vegetable oil.
- Arrange the broccoli and cauliflower tightly, aiming for an even height.
- Mash the cheese with a fork or grate it.
- Add salt and ground spices.
- Pass the peeled garlic cloves through a press with fine perforation.
- Combine the grated cheese with the egg.
- Add thick sour cream.
- Mix the cheesy-sour cream sauce.
- Spoon the sauce onto the florets. To prevent the sauce from running down and to set immediately on the florets, place the cabbage in a hot oven. Temperature - 180 degrees.
- Remove the dish when the cheese crust on the florets has baked and turned golden. With convection on, this will happen in 15 minutes; without convection – in 20-25 minutes.
- The broccoli and cauliflower baked in the oven are ready. The cheese crust will unite the scattered florets into a unique casserole. Cut the vegetable casserole into squares, lift them with a narrow spatula, and place them on a plate.
- A lovely flavor accent – flax seeds, or you can sprinkle the baked florets of the two types of cabbage with cheese.
