My review
Cauliflower with Cheese Sauce
Ita
"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."

Ready In
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Place cauliflower in a large pot and pour in enough water to cover; bring to a boil and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a baking dish.
- 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.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- If the mixture is too thick, you can thin it down with some chicken stock.
- Place in the roasting oven on the grid shelf. If oven is hot, it will take 20 to 25 minutes to brown on top. Can easily be cooked while you are resting or carving a roast.

Sauce was bland and needed more flour than called for to thicken. As well salt, Parmesan. I think I will try to make it again with some changes to add to flavor.

This cheese sauce was excellent, after I made it I decided to add some of the cheddar cheese into the sauce, which meant I ended up having to add more milk. I noticed that when I got it just to ...

This turned out really good. I had intentions on making as written except that I planned to cut the cauliflower into "steaks" instead of florets. I was multi-tasking and goofed by adding the sha...
