Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

2 cups fresh cauliflower florets

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup sour cream

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)

Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets and blanch them for about 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

      Make the Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.

        Combine Everything: Pour the cheese mixture over the blanched broccoli and cauliflower. Gently fold the vegetables into the cheese mixture until they are evenly coated.

          Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the olive oil until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated. This will give them a crunchy texture when baked.

            Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the cheesy vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with the panko mixture and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

              Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, then serve warm and enjoy your cheesy creation!
