Cauliflower Cheese Bake


I enjoyed this dish. The children did not. One did not like the cheese and the other would not touch it. They will prob eat it all up next time. I had some fresh breadcrumbs laying on the counter, so I used them and didn't taste them. Wasted calories! I did not have aged cheddar or Colman's mustard. Still, it was good and a good intro to cauliflower.






1 large cauliflower
1 1/3 cup milk
1/2 lb Mature cheddar cheese, finely grated
3 tablespoons plain flour
0.11 lb butter
1/2 teaspoon dried English mustard (Colman's)
nutmeg
salt and black pepper

1 pre-heat oven to 450°F.
2 Trim the cauliflower & break into small florets.
3 Boil in salted water for 10-15 minutes or until just tender.
4 Drain in a colander and then place in a Pam coated ovenproof baking dish.
5 Add the milk, flour and butter to a saucepan.
6 Heat and whisking with a wire whisk continuously until the sauce thickens, boils and is smooth.
7 Allow to simmer for a further 2 minutes.
8 Add three-quarters of the grated cheese, mustard, a pinch of nutmeg and seasoning.
9 Cook for further minute stirring well.
10 Pour the sauce over the cauliflower.
11 Mix the remaining cheese together, sprinkle over the top.
12 Bake in a pre-heated oven 450F for about 15 to 25 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
13 Serve immediately.
