Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower, cut into florets

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3  tbsp plain flour

  • 2 cups milk

  • 1 cup tasty cheese grated

  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C. In a large pot of salted boiling water, blanch cauliflower for 3 minutes. Drain then toss back into pot to dry out excess water.

  2. Make cheese sauce: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the flour and stir for 2 minutes. Whisk in milk, bring to a low simmer and keep whisking until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted.  Season with salt and pepper. 

  3. Add drained cauliflower to an oven-safe dish. Pour over cheese sauce and stir until combined. Sprinkle top with some extra cheese.

  4. Bake for 20 minutes or until cauliflower is tender and cheese is melted and golden.

Make it your own!

Mix it up with half broccoli and half cauliflower or just straight broccoli. Great with other cheeses, try parmesan or add some mozzarella.
