Clean the head of broccoli and cauliflower and separate them into individual florets. Place a pot with a larger amount of lightly salted water on the stove. When the water boils, add the cauliflower florets to the pot and cook for 8 to 10 minutes (be careful not to overcook them!). After about 4 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets to the pot as well.
Drain the cooked broccoli and cauliflower florets and let them cool. Place a saucepan on the stove and melt the butter in it. Add the flour and cook for one minute. Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly pour in the milk while continuously stirring. Once all the milk is added, return the saucepan to the stove and cook the sauce while stirring until it thickens. Stir in the mustard and crumbled gorgonzola. Mix well until the cheese is completely melted, then season with pepper, salt, and ground nutmeg.
Preheat the oven to 210 degrees Celsius. Mix the cauliflower and broccoli florets into the prepared sauce. Transfer the mixture to a deep baking dish and sprinkle grated Parmesan on top. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until the top is nicely golden brown.
