CAULIFLOWER WITH CHEESE SAUCE



Cauliflower with Cheese Sauce image

This is an easy recipe for cauliflower cheese but it's pretty versatile. You can use the cheese sauce with any vegetables you have handy. I often put a layer of cooked kale or broccoli on the bottom, then arrange the cooked cauliflower florets on top. You can change the flavor of the sauce by adding different cheeses you might have in your fridge. It takes a bit of elbow work to make the sauce but it's worth it. This is delicious served with roast beef or lamb.

Time 48m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups 1% milk
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 ounces mature Cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add flour and mix using a whisk or wooden spoon until smooth and mixture pulls away from the side of the saucepan, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in milk, a little at a time, and whisk continuously until sauce is thickened but still pourable, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir Parmesan cheese into sauce until melted; season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over all of the cauliflower. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE SAUCE

Categories     Side     Roast     St. Patrick's Day     Cheddar     Cauliflower     Winter     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large head cauliflower (about 1 pound total)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups whole milk
10 ounces Cheddar cheese or similar, grated (about 1 1/4 cup)
Special Equipment
12- by 8-inch baking dish

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Arrange a steamer rack over a large pot of boiling water.
  • Remove the green outer leaves from the cauliflower, place it on the steamer rack, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl to cool. Once the cauliflower is cool enough to handle, use your hands to gently break the florets from the thick central stalk-try to break the cauliflower into large florets rather than small pieces. Arrange the florets, in one layer, in a 12- by 8-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • In a large heavy saucepan over moderate heat, melt the butter. Reduce the heat to low, add the flour and salt, and whisk until both are incorporated and the mixture turns golden brown, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat to moderate and add the milk, whisking constantly, until a smooth sauce forms (the sauce should be thick and glossy, but still runny), about 5 minutes. (If the sauce is too thick, gradually whisk in additional milk until the desired consistency is achieved.) Add 1 cup of the grated cheese and whisk until melted, about 1 minute. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, making sure to cover all the florets. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese and season with pepper, then bake until the cauliflower is golden brown and the cheese sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
