Method

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan, then stir in the flour and mustard powder and cook for 1 min. Gradually stir in the milk until smooth with no lumps, then keep stirring until the mixture begins to bubble and thickens to a creamy sauce. Remove from the heat, then stir in all but a handful of the grated cheese.
  2. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 and bring a large pan of water to the boil. Cook the potato slices for 5 mins, tip in the broccoli and cauliflower for another 3 mins, then finally add the peas for 1 more min. Drain all the veg and pat dry. Reserve enough potato slices to cover the top of the finished dish, then gently stir the rest of the vegetables into the sauce with the chives.
  3. Tip into a deep ovenproof dish, arrange over the reserved potato slices, then sprinkle with remaining cheddar. Bake for 20-25 mins until the topping is golden and crisp, then serve straight from the dish.

    A really delicious, cheap veggie dish. I didn't bother pre-boiling the veg, just stuck it in the oven for 45 minutes or so until it was all cooked, which made it a bit simpler and created less washing up!

    Debbie, I'd say it was plain flour, as you'll be using it to make a sauce.

    I roasted the potatoes a bit first to give them a bit more crunch, and added a pinch of chilli to the cheese sauce

    I halved this for two but then there wasn't quite enough sauce. Also when I make it again I wouldn't include the potato in with the vegetables, just layer them on top as I found they broke up and went into a mush when stirring them in together. I added some lightly sauteed mushrooms and next time will try adding extra veg such as carrot and courgette.

    Really nice, very simple and quick. A much more interesting take on cauliflower cheese.

    We enjoyed this - although my boys picked out the cauliflower (which they won't be persuaded to eat!). Could use other veg as available. I served it with grilled gammon. Easy to do and tasty, but probably not ideal for me as a Weight Watchers attendee (but what the heck?)!

    Marvellous. My 3 yr old and 1 yr old have just eaten a huge plate of vegetables. This is so simple I don't know why I haven't done it before! Great.

    Lovely dish. Because im watching my calories i replaced the milk for skimmed, i only had wholemeal flour and halved the amount of cheese, i couldnt get any chives so i used a leek and i added a courgette instead of the cauliflower and seasoned well with crushed peppercorns. Everyone loved it, i found it kept me full and foodly satisfied for the rest of evening. wiil be doing many more times, gorgeous!
