My rating:

Your guests will never guess how low in fat this dish is, or easy to prepare it was for you! What a great way to jazz up broccoli and cauliflower! I highly recommend this. Serve it as a side with any entree. Enjoy!

Difficulty Level: Very Easy
Prep Time: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients:

3 cups chopped broccoli florets (about 9 oz)
3 cups chopped cauliflower florets (about 11 oz)
1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt
1 cup (4 oz) shredded Kraft 2% Sharp Cheddar or Sargento Reduced-Fat Mild Cheddar
1 tsp whole grain mustard (or 1/3 tsp ground mustard seed)
2 Tb bread crumbs (the cookbook recommends whole wheat)
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Break the cauliflower and broccoli into florets and cook in lightly salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes, until just tender. Drain well and transfer to flame-proof dish. (Do not use glass dish!! It will explode in the broiler.)

Mix together the yogurt, grated cheese, and mustard; then season the mixture with salt and pepper and spoon over the cauliflower and broccoli.

Preheat the broiler. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the vegetables and broil until golden brown. Serve hot.
