Cauliflower Cheese Like My Mother Didn’t Use To Make!

I like cauliflower and as a child, my mother used to make cauliflower cheese quite often. So when I saw Lindsey Bareham’s recipe for a good cauliflower cheese, I just had to make it.

I started by cutting up a medium sized cauliflower into florets and grated about a 100 grams of cheddar cheese.

Cauliflower And Grated Cheese

I also took two sliced of Genius gluten-free bread, which after decrusting, I mixed with some grated parmesan in my Little Chopper.

Making Breadcrumbs

The cauliflower was cooked in boiling salted water and then drained and placed in one of my Le Creuset dishes.

I then made a sauce by melting 25 grams of butter in a saucepan and adding 75 grams of gluten-free flour, a teaspoon of English mustard, about 100 grams of the water from the cauliflower and 200 ml. of milk. When it boiled, I simmered it for 5 mins and then stirred in the cheddar until it melted. It was then poured over the cauliflower.

Then the breadcrumb mix was added over the top, with a couple of knobs of butter.

Ready For The Oven

I then cooked it for 20 minutes in the oven at 220°C.

Cauliflower Cheese

I did make a mistake and cooked it at 240°C, so it was slightly over-cooked, but it was certainly very tasty. I’d also added slightly more mustard than recommended, but that was probably better to my taste.

It was very definitely, a good cauliflower cheese. I shall be cooking it again!
