Hearty Vegetable Casserole with Cauliflower and Broccoli

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a large baking dish with vegetable oil.
Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower and broccoli florets, diced onions, red and yellow bell peppers, grated carrot, and sliced mushrooms. Toss with the minced garlic, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Make the Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and flour until smooth. Stir in the grated semi-hard cheese (reserving some for topping), and season with a little more salt and pepper. Mix until you have a smooth, pourable batter.
Assemble the Casserole: Spread the vegetable mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg and cheese batter over the vegetables, making sure to cover them completely. Sprinkle the top with the reserved grated cheese.
Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the vegetables are tender. Check the doneness by inserting a knife or skewer into the center; it should come out clean.
Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish is wonderfully satisfying on its own or can be served alongside a light salad or crusty bread for a fuller meal.
Enjoy this hearty vegetable casserole, where the flavors of cauliflower, broccoli, and a host of other vegetables come together under a golden, cheesy crust. It’s a versatile recipe that invites you to use whatever vegetables you have on hand, making it perfect for a nutritious family dinner or a cozy meal any time.
