Preparation

Cut cauliflower and broccoli into florets of varying sizes. Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook vegetables 5 minutes.

Drain, reserving 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the water to be used in the sauce. Place vegetables and hard-boiled eggs in an ovenproof dish.

In a saucepan, melt butter then add flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually incorporate milk mixed with vegetable cooking water and whisk until sauce thickens and becomes smooth. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Blend in three quarters of the Canadian St-Pierre de Saurel cheese, season with pepper, salt (if necessary) and nutmeg.

Preheat broiler. Cover vegetables with sauce and tomatoes (optional). Mix remaining Canadian St-Pierre de Saurel cheese with breadcrumbs and sprinkle over vegetables. Place under broiler until sauce bubbles and becomes nicely browned. Serve immediately.
