Cook Time 1 hour 45 minutes
Total Time 2 hours

Ingredients
 

  • 500g bag of mixed broccoli and cauliflower pieces (or fresh cut yourself if you prefer)
  • 200ml of cooking cream
  • 1 cup grated tasty cheese
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • A shallow cooking dish that fits inside your slow cooker for ease of serving (see notes below)

Instructions
 

  • Place approx 1 inch of warm water in the cooking bowl of your slow cooker - but ensure the water level is not high enough that it could flow INTO your cooking dish when it is placed in the water bath to cook - adjust water level as necessary
  • Take the cooking dish and prepare the following INSIDE this dish
  • Pour broccoli and cauliflower into the cooking dish
  • Mix cream with tasty cheese and pour over the vegetables in the cooking dish
  • Carefully lower this filled cooking dish into the water bath in your slow cooker bowl
  • Place tea towel on slow cooker using The Tea Towel Trick
  • Cook on HIGH for 1hr 30mins or until vegetables are fork tender
  • At this point scatter the Mozzarella cheese over the top of your vegetables and return to cooking for another 15mins until cheese on top is well melted
  • Lift the cooking dish carefully out of the slow cooker bowl
  • Use large spoon to serve.
  • ALTERNATE METHOD: I also cook this recipe directly in my 1.5L slow cooker bowl or 3.5L also. It works just as well this way too. I cooked on HIGH in the 1.5L cooker for approximately 2hrs as it's not as spread out so needs a little more time I found :)
