"This is a mish mash of several gratin recipes that I came up with after the DH made a request for it, I haven't made it yet but hope to be doing so very soon. The main change I have made is to sub cheddar cheese for parmesan that most recipes called for because as much as I love parmesan to DH loathes it. Times and serving size is a guess at the moment."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until forming and add the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until the mixture bubbles.
Step 2
Remove from the heat and gradually add milk, stirring constantly (I prefer to use a whisk for this step) until smooth and then return to a medium-high heat and cook, stirring for about 5 minutes or until sauce boils and thickens.
Step 3
Remove from the heat, and stir in 1/3 of the cheddar and season with salt and pepper and place non-stick baking paper on the surface of the sauce (to prevent a kin forming) and set aside.
Step 4
Cook the cauliflower and broccoli in a saucepan of salted boiling water for 5 to 7 minutes or until tender and then drain well and place in a large, shallow, ovenproof dish.
Step 5
Preheat grill/broiler on high.
Step 6
Pour sauce over vegetables and sprinkle with remaining cheddar and sprinkle with paprika and cook under grill/broiler, about 10cm from the heat source, for about 5 minutes or until brown and serve immediately.
