Step-by-step Guide

Preparation

  • Rinse the cauliflower and broccoli thoroughly under cold water, ensuring any impurities are removed, and cut them into uniform pieces of approximately 3 centimeters.
  • Boil the cauliflower and broccoli in a pot with lightly salted water for 8-10 minutes, until they are tender but not overcooked. Then, drain them and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven grill to a moderate heat, approximately 180-200 degrees Celsius.
  • Place the drained cauliflower and broccoli in a baking tray previously greased with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
  • Mix the yogurt with the grated cheese and mustard in a bowl, stirring until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the cauliflower and broccoli on the baking tray.
  • Distribute the breadcrumbs evenly over the yogurt mixture to add a crunchy texture.
  • Cook the preparation under the grill for about 5-7 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
  • Serve the dish hot, immediately after removing it from the oven to maintain the crunchy texture.
Recommendations & Tricks
  • Before boiling cauliflower and broccoli, make sure to cut them into uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly and avoid overly soft or hard sections.
  • When mixing natural yogurt with mustard for the sauce, do it slowly and gently to prevent the yogurt from curdling and achieving an uneven texture.
  • To add a crunchy touch to the gratin, mix breadcrumbs with a bit of oil and sprinkle it over the cheese before baking.
