A classic heartwarming English dish served as a side for 4 or main with potatoes or bread for 2.
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 2/3 cups milk
- 3 ½ ounces grated sharp Cheddar cheese
- salt and ground white pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower; cover the saucepan with a lid and steam cauliflower until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Whisk flour into melted butter; cook, stirring constantly until raw flour taste cooks off and mixture darkens, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually whisk milk into butter mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 8 minutes. Remove pot from heat; stir in Cheddar cheese. Season sauce with salt and white pepper.
Step 4
Stir steamed cauliflower into cheese sauce; season with salt and white pepper.
Cook’s Note:
For a richer dish, replace 2 tablespoons of the milk with heavy whipping cream. Breadcrumbs mixed with more grated cheese put on top of the dish and grilled until crispy makes this more of a treat.
