Notes

Variations
  • Customize this casserole to suit your taste. If you prefer broccoli casserole then double the amount of broccoli and skip the cauliflower. You can also go for a cauliflower-only casserole instead.
  • Top the broccoli and cauliflower casserole with your favorite cheese. Some great options include Monterey Jack cheese, parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese.
  • If you don't have day-old bread then you can top this casserole with breadcrumbs or panko instead.
