To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have cauliflower cheese using 8 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook it.

Steam the cauliflower in a steamer basket, then drain and top with cheese sauce and crunchy browned breadcrumbs. Place broccoli florets in a pot. Add water until covered and bring to a boil. Cook until the broccoli is fork tender.
Steps to make Cauliflower Cheese:
- Remove the core and cut cauliflower into florets making sure the size is uniform, I prefer not to go smaller than a couple of inches, then blanche in rapidly boiling salted water until they are still a little firm, not fully cooked as they are going in the oven later.
- In this video the cauliflower took around 5 minutes to boil, I removed from the water and arranged in a suitable sized oven dish. Do not refresh in ice water as they will be water-logged, let them steam dry, and arrange nicely so the florets are facing upwards. Then start the béchamel by melting the butter
- When the butter has melted fully, add in the flour and stir over a low heat for a few minutes until it comes together to form a roux and the raw flour is cooked out a little. Time to add the milk in stages add a little at a time and each time move the roux around the pan to gather up the milk, then beat it to a velvety smooth consistency before adding the next splash of milk, this is my best method for avoiding lumps
- Here you can see me moving the roux around then beating it smooth before adding more milk, the last image has all milk added and gently simmering still over a low heat before seasoning with pepper but not salt at this stage as we are adding salty cheese
- Add about 2/3 of the cheddar and parmesan, reserving some for the topping, stir vigorously until it has all melted and the cheese sauce is silky smooth
- Time to taste for seasoning now to your liking, then drown the cauliflower with as much sauce as you like, I had a little too much, if you do check out my previous recipe for Croque Monseuir to use it up. Then sprinkle over the remaining cheese
- So into a hot oven 220c until it is bubbling and brown and you cannot resist it, get in there with a big serving spoon and see if how much you eat before anyone else gets in there.
- I love bacon or ham with mine but also this goes so well with a roast dinner, these screen shots are taken from my youtube channel, feel free to check it out there.https://www.youtube.com/watch?bhi=WMzk58PI9JI&t=38s
