Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 sheets puff pastry (see notes for other options)
  • 1/2 head cauliflower
  • 1 head broccoli
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 pinch of turmeric (optional)
  • 2 1/2 cups milk

Directions

  1. Preheat a fan-forced oven to 180°C

  6. Add milk and stir constantly with a whisk until there are no lumps
  7. Stir in grated cheese (make sure you use a wooden spoon)
  8. Leave mixture to thicken, stirring occasionally (should only take a few minutes – if milk starts to boil, turn down heat)
  9. Add steamed veggies to semi-cooked pastry
  10. To make egg mix: beat eggs and flour in a separate bowl
  11. Top steamed vegetables with beaten egg mix
  12. Top with cheese sauce and sprinkle extra cheese

Notes

Top with your favourite fresh herbs and serve with relish, a nice fresh salad or roasted veggies!

Option to omit puff pastry and use mountain bread wraps. You could even go crustless and make this a frittata.

Delicious hot or at room temperature.

Refrigerate to keep (if there’s any left!) for up to 5 days.
