Instructions

Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Prepare Vegetables. Wash and chop all vegetables as directed. Add them to the prepared baking dish, tossing to mix evenly.
Make Cheese Sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk the Boursin cheese, heavy cream, milk, garlic powder, and black pepper together until smooth and creamy.
Combine and Toss. Pour the cheesy sauce evenly over the vegetables in the baking dish. Toss gently to coat all the veggies with the sauce.
Add Toppings. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly on top of the vegetable mixture.
Bake. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are fork-tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if using, then serve warm.
