Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch casserole dish by lightly greasing it.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the frozen mixed vegetables, broth, kosher salt, and garlic powder. Steam over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until fork-tender.
- In another saucepan, melt the butter or olive oil, then stir in the flour. Cook for 1 minute, then whisk in the milk and reserved vegetable liquid. Bring to a gentle boil until thickened.
- Lower the heat and add white wine, thyme, nutmeg, Parmesan, and Gruyere cheeses to the sauce. Stir until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Pour the Mornay sauce over the steamed vegetables in the casserole dish and mix gently to coat evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs with olive oil until coated, then spread over the casserole.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes to brown the top.
- Let sit for about 10 minutes after baking before serving.

Notes
Experiment with different cheeses for unique variations and ensure the breadcrumbs are well-coated for a crispy topping.
