Very good! Loved the scent of the onion backing with the cheese on top of the cauliflower and broccoli. You can cut calories by just cutting back on the amount of cheese and mayo. Would not recommend using light cheese or fat free because it does not melt as good.
I have made this two times. Our family (children too) have loved this. Instead of boiling the ingredients we used the chop setting on the food processor and chopped the broccoli, cauliflower and onion. The second time we made it we wanted to try decreasing the calories. We halfed the butter, cheese, mayo and bread crumbs. Obviously it isn’t as robust in flavour, but it is still delicious to us.
