Creamy Cauliflower Bake
Ingredients
  • 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 2/3 cups milk
  • 3 1/2 ounces grated sharp Cheddar cheese
  • salt and ground white pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Fill a large pot with water, leaving about an inch at the bottom of the vessel. Place the steamer insert into the pot and bring the water to a rolling boil.
2
Then, add the cauliflower to the steamer insert and cover it with a lid. Steam the cauliflower until it becomes tender, which should take around 10 to 12 minutes.
3
In a separate large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
4
These two ingredients should be whisked together until they form a smooth mixture, then cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. This process should take around 3 to 4 minutes.
5
Next, gradually whisk in the milk into the butter mixture.
6
The mixture should then be cooked over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. This process should take around 8 minutes.
7
Remove the pot from the heat source and stir in the Cheddar cheese.
8
These two ingredients should be seasoned with salt and white pepper to enhance the flavor.
9
Finally, stir the steamed cauliflower into the cheese sauce.

This should be seasoned with salt and white pepper to bring out the flavors of both ingredients.
