In this article, we’ll walk through each step of the recipe, from selecting the freshest ingredients to serving up a piping hot casserole that will leave your taste buds singing with joy.

Ingredients

• 400 grams cauliflower
• 1 broccoli
• 1 onion
• 1 red pepper
• 1 yellow pepper
• 4 eggs
• 500 milliliters milk
• 130 grams flour
• 150 grams semi-hard cheese
• 1 carrot
• Mushrooms
• Garlic
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Vegetable oil

Preparing

First things first, let’s get those veggies prepped and ready to dazzle our taste buds. Begin by boiling a pot of water and adding a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of milk. Dive in the broccoli and let it simmer for a quick 2-minute dip. Follow suit with the cauliflower, giving it a slightly longer 4-minute spa treatment. Once blanched, toss them into a waiting saucepan along with some cherry tomatoes, red and yellow peppers for a burst of color.

Sautéing Aromatics

Now, let’s infuse our casserole with aromatic flavors. Heat up a pan with a drizzle of vegetable oil and toss in the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and a handful of halved mushrooms. Let them mingle and dance in the pan for about 3 minutes until they release their fragrant aroma, then transfer this flavorful mix into the waiting saucepan with the veggies.

Mixing the Batter

It’s batter time! In a bowl, crack open those eggs and give them a good whisk. Season with salt, pepper, and add a splash of vegetable oil, flour, milk, and chopped parsley. Give it all a hearty mix until you have a smooth, creamy batter. Pour this golden elixir over the veggies in the saucepan, ensuring every nook and cranny is coated in this luscious mixture.

Baking to Perfection

With our casserole assembled, it’s time to let the oven work its magic. Sprinkle a generous handful of grated semi-hard cheese on top of the casserole and slide it into a preheated oven set at 180 degrees. Let it bake for approximately 40 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly, and the aroma of roasted veggies fills your kitchen.

Serving Suggestions

Ah, the moment we’ve all been waiting for! Remove the casserole from the oven, and let it cool for a few minutes before diving in. Serve up generous portions of this veggie-packed delight alongside a crisp green salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal that’s sure to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.
