Mixed Vegetable Mornay is one of the creamiest and best side dishes I serve regularly – and NO leftovers ever ! Mixed vegetables in cheese sauce with a crusty cheese topping

This Vegetable Mornay is one of the very best sides I serve regularly – ever had Haddock Mornay or Lobster Mornay ? If not, you are totally missing out !

Same amazing taste and saucy (double the Mornay sauce if you like it even saucier). We had this last night as a side dish with some meatballs and Basmati rice for dinner.

This is another recipe, slightly adapted by me, from one of my favorite cookbook authors, Annette Human. We have this several times a month and never tire of the taste.

Even kids, with fussy tastes concerning vegetables, should like this ( .. I did say should..). My kids loved it from the very first time I made the recipe and we never have any leftovers.

I can honestly say that is not the case with most of the vegetable side dishes I serve them.

What I like most of this dish, is that you can cook the vegetables ahead of time, the day before a big dinner perhaps, and keep the cooked vegetables in a sealed container.

No need to refrigerate, unless the weather is very hot, then I prefer to keep cooked food in the refrigerator until needed.
