  I've made this twice now it was even better the 2nd time, the chives make all the difference. Great when weight watching too!

  This was really good, I have done similar before but made a proper white sauce etc, the creme fraiche was much easier and tastier too I thought.

  I agree with Mary, the chives make all the difference. I made it once without them and it wasn't the same.

  I made this with broccoli, cauliflower and carrots and it was delicious. It is a deffinate winner for fussy kids and exhausted mothers. Easy to hide any vegtables in and super quick to prepare.

  Absolutely gorgeous! Not the world's lighest meal though. I ended up adding loads more cheese (as I'm addicted to mature cheddar)and using light sour cream as I couldn't find any half fat creme fraiche, and it still turned out fantastic. Chives are a must.

  Great with a bit of fried sliced garlic in it. Half-fat creme fraiche was surprisingly very successful. Tried mixing in some blue cheese with it, but couldn't really taste that.

  Nutrition rating probably not very accurate since you need to double the quantity of cheese just to cover the top of the dish.

  I had a big problem with this recipe. The creme fraiche was fairly solid and it failed to mix in with the vegetables giving a dry and boring effect. Nothing like the picture. I have some left over for tonight so I am going to make some white sauce to liven it up a bit. I am going for the conventional cheese sauce in the future.
