Broccoli and cauliflower bake

I've never actually made this before and I don't actually know why.

I made this side dish for my aunty's Christmas party she is having today. I strangely always try new recipes and ideas for people which is very risky especially since there is a very good chance of it being terrible. But funnily enough I have never had anything terrible happen while experimenting on people!

Here is what you'll need:
1 knob butter
2 heads broccoli
2 heads cauliflower
1/2 a tub of either cream cheese or mascarpone cheese softened
1-2 cups cheese blend (Cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan and Romano)
3-4 finely chopped garlic
1 cup breadcrumbs

Method:

1) chop broccoli and cauliflower into florets
2) place cauliflower into a pot and boil for 5 mins. Add broccoli to and oil for a further 2 mins or until broccoli have turned a bright green.
3) rinse off the veggies under cold water
4) place veggies into a oven safe dish and add creamed cheese and mix until all the veg is covered in cheese.
5) sprinkle with 4 cheese blend.

Breadcrumb mix.

1) heat butter in a saucepan until bubbles appear.
2) add garlic and sauté until fragrant
3) mix in breadcrumbs until all is combined and the breadcrumbs have taken in the butter.
4) sprinkle mixture on top of the veggies.
5) place under the grill/broiler until cheese is melted and the breadcrumbs have turned a deep gold.

Enjoy!
