Creamy Veg Au Gratin Recipe | Baked Vegetables in White Sauce | Restaurant Style Cheesy Veg Bake

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan.

Add 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to the melted butter and cook until fragrant and slightly changed in color.

Pour in 1 cup of milk while stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes to create a smooth white sauce.

Season the sauce with 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.25 teaspoon of grated nutmeg.

Check the thickness of the sauce by lifting it with a spoon; it should coat the back of the spoon.

Add the steamed mixed vegetables to the white sauce and mix well.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (about 392°F) in convection mode for approximately 10 minutes.

Prepare the baking dish with the vegetable mixture and top generously with cheese.

Insert the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, keeping an eye on it to prevent over-melting of the cheese.

Check the baked dish for a nicely cooked top layer and serve.
