For a richer flavor, use a combination of Cheddar and Gruyere cheese. Add a crispy breadcrumb topping for extra texture. Combine breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over the bake before the final 10 minutes of cooking. Feel free to add other vegetables such as sliced mushrooms or cooked ham for a heartier dish. Ensure the cauliflower and broccoli are well-drained to prevent a watery sauce.
