1
Wash and clean the broccoli and cauliflower and cut into florets. Blanch in boiling salted water for about 4 minutes. Drain the vegetables, collecting the cooking water. Rinse the cabbage florets in cold water and let them drip off.
2
Peel and chop the onion. Grate cheese finely. Melt butter in a pot. Steam onion in it until transparent. Add flour and sweat briefly. Gradually stir in milk and 1⁄4 l cooking water. Bring sauce to the boil while stirring and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Preheat oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Stir 50 g cheese into the sauce and melt. Season to taste with salt, pepper, nutmeg and lemon juice. Put the vegetables in an ovenproof casserole dish.
4
Pour cheese sauce over it and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Bake in a hot oven for 20-25 minutes.
5
Cut bread into small cubes. Wash the thyme, shake dry and pluck the leaves from the stalks. Coarsely chop the almonds. Mix bread, thyme, almonds and 1⁄2 tsp. salt. Switch the oven to grill level or highest temperature.
6
Sprinkle the casserole with the bread mixture and bake under the hot grill for 3-5 minutes until crispy.
