Cheesy broccoli and cauliflower gratin is one of those comforting dishes that feels like a warm hug on a chilly day. Growing up in the Midwest, casseroles were a staple at family gatherings, and this dish brings back fond memories of Sunday dinners with my family. It's a perfect blend of tender vegetables enveloped in a creamy cheese sauce, topped with a golden, crispy layer. Whether you're looking for a side dish to complement your main course or a vegetarian option that's hearty enough to stand alone, this gratin is a crowd-pleaser.
This gratin pairs beautifully with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette, which balances the richness of the cheese sauce. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside roasted chicken or grilled pork chops. A crusty baguette or soft dinner rolls are perfect for mopping up any leftover sauce on your plate.
