Ingredients

  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cups cauliflower florets
  • ½ cup cream cheese *softened
  • ½ cup shredded cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese for the topping

Instructions

  • First, start by heating the oven to 375° and lightly greasing an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish. Use a bit of oil, butter, or spray.
  • Then, add about 2 inches of water to a large pot, set it over medium-high heat, and bring the water to a low boil. Once the water is bubbling, add the cauliflower and broccoli florets to the pot.
  • Let them cook for 3-5 minutes until they have softened and are easily pierced by a fork. Be careful not to overcook them as they will be mushy.
  • Once they are ready, drain the water and set them aside.
  • Next, in a large mixing bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese with the seasonings.
  • Once that is combined sprinkle in half a cup of shredded cheese and stir again.
  • Then, add the steamed broccoli and cauliflower to the bowl and stir to coat them with the cream cheese mixture.
  • Next, pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
  • Then, sprinkle on the remaining cheese on top.
  • Finally, place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes until the mixture is bubbling. For a crispier browned top, broil for 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve warm.
