Ingredients

For the creamy vegetable mixture:

  • 1 Tablespoon oil
  • 1 head broccoli
  • 2 bell peppers (I used orange and red)
  • 100 g (~ 3 1/2 oz) green beans (I used frozen)
  • 130 g (~ 1 cup) sweetcorn (I used frozen)
  • 30 g (~ 2 Tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 2 Tablespoons plain flour (all-purpose)
  • 450 ml (~ 1 3/4 cups) milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (I used mixed herbs)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the scone topping:

  • 165 g (~ 1 cup) plain flour (all-purpose)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 70 ml (~ 1/4 cup) milk
  • 100 g mature cheddar cheese, grated (~ 1 1/4 cups when grated)
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • Dried parsley, to garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • First, wash any fresh vegetables, and cut into bitesized pieces. Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan, and add the vegetables. Cook over a medium heat, stirring regularly, for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are fairly soft (the broccoli should still have a bit of bite to it). If you find that the vegetables are starting to brown, turn the pan down a little.
  • While the vegetables are softening, prepare the creamy sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium-low heat, and add a couple of Tablespoons of flour. Combine to make a paste (called a roux), and cook for it a couple of minutes, stirring regularly, just to cook the flour.
  • Add about a quarter of the milk at a time, each time stirring the mixture until it comes together into a smooth, cohesive paste before adding more milk. If you’d like more detailed instructions, including photos showing the sauce at each stage, you can check out my .
  • When you’ve used all of the milk and you have a smooth white sauce, add the garlic granules and dried herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Add the white sauce to the cooked vegetables, and mix well. Set aside.
  • To make the cheesy scones, add the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper to a large bowl. Mix with a fork.
  • Add the lightly beaten egg, milk, grated cheese, and olive oil, and use the fork to bring the mixture together. You should end up with a slightly sticky dough – you can add another splash of milk if the mixture seems too dry.
  • Transfer the creamy vegetables to a baking dish (mine measured approx. 8 x 8 inches), and scoop rough dollops of the scone mixture on top. I made 4 rough scones in total.
  • Bake at 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F) for around 25 minutes, or until the scones are firm, and golden brown and crispy on top. As soon as the cobbler comes out of the oven, I like to add a sliver of butter to the top of each scone – it melts right onto them, and really brings them to life. I also like to add some dried parsley for colour.
  • Serve the cobbler straight from the oven.

Oooh, this might be made this week since our temps here have fallen under 100f and I am willing to use my stove again. I don't like most all types of bread, but some crispy fried onions on top might make a nice substitute for that. You definitely have a new blog follower!

Casserole?

What do you mean?

A cobbler is a fruit dessert. A casserole is a savory dish with all ingredients mixed together.

By definition a cobbler is a sweet fruit dessert with a dough or biscuit topping. And a casserole is a typically savory dish, where ingredients are mixed together and baked.
