Notes

  • To avoid excess moisture, make sure to thoroughly steam the cauliflower and broccoli until tender, then allow them to cool slightly before adding to the mixture.
  • For perfectly melted cheese, check for a bubbly, golden top after baking; if it hasn't browned after 30 minutes, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  • If you're short on time, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to cut down on preparation time without sacrificing flavor.
  • This casserole reheats beautifully; store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.
  • For a creamier texture, consider adding a dollop of cream cheese or sour cream to the mixture before baking.
