Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and cook carrots in boiling water for two minutes.  Add the cauliflower and cook 4 minutes more until vegetables are just tender. Plunge into cold water & drain.

In another pan melt butter over med heat; stir in flour, Dijon mustard and optional green onions then cook until bubbly. Turn heat to med-low and gradually stir in 1 c. chicken broth and ½ c. whipping cream. Cook, stirring until thickened. Gradually add 1 c. shredded swiss cheese, stirring until melted. Combine vegetables and sauce in a 2 quart casserole.

Sprinkle with ½ c. additional cheese. If done ahead of time, cover and refrigerate. Before serving bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven until heated through, about 15 minutes (35 minutes if chilled). Pin It
