- 300ml milk
- 1/2 cup grated cheese

Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius
- Add the butter and garlic into a small saucepan and melt over medium—high heat until the butter is melted and then whisk in the flour to form a rue (with a “pastey” type texture) and cook for about 3 minutes to cook out the flour continuing to whisk
- Gradually add in the milk continually whisking to ensure no lumps form once you have a nice thick cheese sauce add in the grated cheese and the broccoli and cauliflower that has either been grated, finely diced or blitzed in a food processor/thermo cooking device (Speed 6 for 8 seconds) until it has a rice like texture
- Grease a 9 holes in a 12 hole muffin tin
- Remove the crusts from the bread and use a rolling pin both directions on the bread to flatten slightly, fit the bread into one of the muffin tray holes and fill with the cheesy mixture, repeat with the remaining slices of bread and the mixture
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden on top and allow to cook as the filling will be very hot.
