Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli and cauliflower for about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a roux.
  4. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Stir until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  6. Combine the blanched vegetables with the cheese sauce, coating them well.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for added crunch.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  10. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
