• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 2

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the cauliflower and broccoli florets, and boil for 4-5 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, softened cream cheese, salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

In a large baking dish, combine the cauliflower, broccoli, cooked red bell pepper, and zucchini. Pour the cream mixture over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese evenly on top of the vegetable mixture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
