a) Broccoli/Cauliflower - You're looking to get 1/2 broccoli and 1/2 cauliflower. It won't make a huge difference if there's slightly more of one than the other.
b) Gruyere - I highly recommend using this for its gorgeous nutty flavour. If you can't find it, just sub more cheddar.
c) Make ahead - You can make this ahead of time, just go up until combining everything in the dish (make sure broccoli/cauliflower cools first) then cool, cover and pop in the fridge until needed. Then grate extra cheese and pop it in the oven. I find if it's prepped ahead you run the risk of the cauliflower/broccoli coming out quite soft because it tends to cook a little as it rests, so just bear that in mind.
d) Chives - Try not to think of these as just garnish, they actually add a gorgeous pop of flavour at the end!
e) Consistency - When it's fresh out of the oven it'll be fairly saucy, but as it rests it does start to thicken.
f) Serving Size - Gives 6 modest portions (great for a small side on a loaded roast dinner plate) or 4 bigger portions (better as a side to a main).

Chris, this is the best side dish I've ever made!!! I only had broccoli so just used that, but oh my goodness, so unbelievably delicious!!!! Thank you for sharing it
Absolutely yummy 100% never made it in the oven before but will do from now on its the best. One thing how do I reheat the following day ?
I found this recipe too cheesy and a bit claggy! Next time I think I'll reduce the cheese content by 40%. I did enjoy the taste of the roasted veg and also added cubes of ham and potato.
I chose your recipe for broccoli and cauliflower cheese as my first ever attempt. This is the best I've tasted by far! Huge fan of gruyere cheese, in fact all cheese if I'm honest! I will be making this every time I have a roast dinner. Loved baking the vegetables before adding the sauce, it's much less watery, and I think it adds another level of flavour and depth. Thank you for introducing me to an expansive range of tasty dinners that are easy to make. I have fallen in love with cooking.
