Creamy Vegetable Bake Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheddar

💰Cheaper: colby cheese

Colby cheese is usually less expensive and melts well.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Pecorino is often cheaper and offers a similar salty flavor.

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Grease a baking dish with butter or olive oil.

Chop mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces.

Sauté onion and garlic in butter until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add mixed vegetables to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender.

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Gradually pour in vegetable broth and heavy cream, stirring until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and half of the cheddar cheese.

Transfer the vegetable mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Top with remaining cheddar cheese and bread crumbs.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with parsley.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
