- 50g plain flour
- 500ml milk
- pinch of salt
- pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 200g grated cheese (I used an equal mix of Gruyère and Cheddar)
- Sprinkling of breadcrumbs (enough to lightly coat the top of your dish)
INSTRUCTIONS;
- Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add in the Brussels sprouts , leeks and cabbage , bring back to the boil and cook for 4-5 minutes. Drain vegetables in a colander and refresh under cold water. Leave to drain.
- Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
- Melt the butter in a pan over a low-medium heat. Stir in the flour to form a paste and cook for 2 minutes.
- Pour in the milk a little at a time , and continue stirring until a thick , smooth sauce forms. Add in the salt , pepper , nutmeg and mustard and stir to combine. Add in half the grated cheese and stir again until melted and combined.
- Place the drained vegetables into an oven-proof casserole dish. Pour over the sauce and mix. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top , followed by the breadcrumbs.
