Preparation

  • Break the broccoli and cauliflower into small florets, cutting off the thick stalks. Steam for 3 to 4 minutes until broccoli is bright green, then set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt 6 tablespoons of butter. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until onion is translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour over the mixture, whisk to combine, and cook for 45 seconds. Pour in broth while whisking constantly, and cook until sauce thickens.
  • Reduce heat to low, then add cream cheese, salt, pepper, seasoned salt, and paprika. Stir until smooth and adjust seasonings to taste, keeping warm.
  • In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon of melted butter, then set aside.

Assembly and Baking

  • Layer half the broccoli and cauliflower in a casserole dish, pour on half of the cream sauce, and sprinkle on half of the cheese.
  • Repeat with another layer of broccoli, sauce, and cheese. Finish with a sprinkling of breadcrumbs.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F until cheese is melted and bubbly, and breadcrumbs are golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Serve warm.
