In a large pot of salted boiling water, blanch the broccoli and cauliflower for 3 min.

In a small bowl, add the panko crumbs, butter, thyme, oregano, paprika, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 450F. In a medium-sized casserole dish (8x11") sprayed with cooking spray, add the broccoli, cauliflower, Velveeta and Camembert. Top with the panko crumb mixture. Wrap with foil and bake for 15-20 min.
Remove the foil in the last 5 minutes to brown the topping. Let rest 5 min. before serving.
