Cauliflower Cheese

Cauliflower Cheese is a traditional British dish that can be eaten as a side dish or a main course. My version is slightly Americanized but still delicious. It is roasted cauliflower topped with a very easy homemade cheese sauce poured over and baked until bubbly and brown. I have made it a few times and my new favorite way to eat it is over a crispy baked potato. This is a great vegetarian dish that even cauliflower haters will love.

Ingredients

6 cups of Cauliflowers (approximately) I used 2 ten ounce bags of already cut cauliflower, this doesn't have to be exact, you can use less or more

3 tablespoons of oil of your choice, I used olive oil

Salt and Pepper

subheading: For The Sauce:

5 tablespoons of butter

3 heaping tablespoons of flour

2 cups of whole milk

1 cup of heavy cream

3 cups of cheese of your choice, I used Gruyere cheese and some white cheddar

Black pepper about a ½ teaspoon

¼ teaspoon of dry mustard

Salt about a ½ teaspoon

finger pinch of paprika, like ¼ teaspoon

½ teaspoon of dried parsley

Instructions

Heat oven to 450 degrees, toss the cut cauliflower florets in the olive oil, tossing well to coat. Spread on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy.

In a skillet you are going to melt the butter. When it is melted but not quite sizzling, sprinkle the flour all over the pan on top of the butter and whisk until it is combined with the butter. Let it brown slightly but do not let it burn. Season this with the pepper, salt, paprika and dry mustard.
