This recipe was given to me by my sister. It makes enough to serve for a holiday crowd, but the recipe could be easily cut in half and baked in an 8x8" pan. I made half a batch using 8 ounces each frozen broccoli and cauliflower. I microwaved the vegetables until just barely cooked, maybe 4 minutes on HIGH. I liked this quite well. The Dijon mustard gives the topping a bit of zip. Be sure to let the topping get nicely browned for the best flavor.
