Cauliflower Cheese

Ingredients

• •1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
• •3 tbsp unsalted butter
• •3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• •2 cups whole milk
• •1 tsp Dijon mustard
• •2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• •3/4 tsp salt
• •1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

1. 1Boil the cauliflower florets for 5 minutes until barely tender, then drain them very thoroughly.
2. 2Melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour, and cook for 1 minute.
3. 3Gradually whisk in milk and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 4 minutes.
4. 4Stir in Dijon mustard, half the cheddar, salt, and black pepper.
5. 5Arrange cauliflower in a baking dish, pour over the sauce, and top with remaining cheddar.
6. 6Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 18–20 minutes until bubbling and browned.

💡 Drain the cauliflower well before saucing; trapped water thins the cheese sauce and makes the finished dish watery.
