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.

    Lovely! Just what was needed on a horrible, dark rainy evening! I added some carrots, and used three different cheeses - cheddar and blue in the sauce and some grated parmesan on top (just because I happened to have them!) I steamed the cauliflower and broccoli - they seem less waterlogged that way, and I took the suggestion up of just layering all the potato on the top. It all worked out beautifully. I think the suggestion to add some bacon sounds interesting and I'll try that next time. Marvellous comfort food!

    Great veggie dish, a real change from the bog standard cauliflower cheese (which is also delicious)!

    Absolutely fantastic, a big hit all round. Agree potatoes better on top and adding veg such as courgettes makes it even better!

    This made a nice change. I also halved the amount of cheese and it was lovely.

    We loved this recipe, you could use any combination of vegetables. Nice as a side dish with a Sunday roast.

    Made this again and used frozen veg (which I blanched and froze myself) worked just as well as fresh. I added breadcrumbs to the cheese for the topping, lovely! A real winner.

    Used spinach instead of cauliflower. Would add some spring onions as well next time but a really lovely dish.

    I followed the recipe exactly exchanging just the mustard powder for dijon. I found the potato slices were cooked for too long and the vast majority had fallen to pieces when it came to draining the vegetables - leaving me barely any for the topping. Having said that, this tasted great, the cheese and chive flavours were lovely. A good midweek meal which the kids loved. We served this with chicken.

    Made this when veggie friends visited. Added courgettes and mushrooms. Really tasty but thought the potatoes needed boiling for abit longer as some were still abit hard in the middle. Guests seemed to enjoy it!

    This was the most wonderful way to eat vegetables. I'm not even a big fan of some of the veg in this but it was amazing. Asked for extra helpings.
