One of the greatest things for me being on the low carb, Real Meal eating plan has to be the copious amounts of cheese that you are allowed to eat. I don’t mean the white, fat free tussers kind – the creamier the better. Now I can actually spend time in the cheese isles where I usually ended up skipping that isle all together.
For this recipe of Cheesy Broccoli and Cauliflower you can use any amount of cheese you prefer, as well as your favorite type of cheese. It is super simple, probably a bit boring, but once you start cooking with cream and cheeses you will be able to transform it into something magically delicious.
It consists of tender Broccoli and Cauliflower florets smothered in mature grated cheddar cheese, topped with grated parmesan, seasoned with salt and black pepper and served with cream cheese on the side.
Cheesy Broccoli and Cauliflower sure oozes with cheesy goodness, if you like you can add a little fresh cream while it is baking in the oven for extra creamy goodness. Have a great #MeatlessMonday all!
