Creamy cracker-casserole 🥦🥕
Ingredients
- 1 or 2 packs of Holiroots carrot crackers
- 1 brocolli
- 200 grams of spinach
- 50 grams of flour
- 50 grams of butter
- 500 ml full fat milk
- Salt, pepper and ground nutmeg
- Grated cheese, to taste
- Medium sized pot
- Casserole/baking dish
Preparation, 15′ + 25′ baking time
- Preheat the oven to 170°C 🌡️.
- Break a little over half of the crackers from one packet into small pieces, you can do this in a food processor, blender or by hand.
- Cut the brocolli into florets and parboil them for 1 to 2 minutes, throw the spinach in at the end to boil for half a minute and set the veggies aside 🥦.
- To make the béchamel base:
- Melt the butter in a pot on medium to high heat. Once you see small bubbles forming, slowly add in the flour while stirring constantly. Toast the flour for around a minute, you’ll know it’s ready when you can smell the toastiness and the consistency looks like sand.
- Little by little, add in the milk while whisking constantly such that there are no clumps. Whisk until all of the milk is incorporated and the sauce thickens, then turn down the heat.
- Bring out the flavours in this sauce with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Then add as much cheese as you like into the sauce, we highly recommended it 😉.
- Cover the bottom of the casserole dish with veggies and pour over the sauce, then top it with the cracker pieces and optionally some extra cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
Et voila, a beautiful casserole that pairs perfectly with our hol-icious crackers! Enjoy this dish for dinner or share it among friends💛.
