Method

•  • Trim the cauliflower into bite sized pieces and spread out evenly on a casserole type dish
• • Bake at 2000C for around 15-20 minutes until they are tender and starting to brown at the edges
• • While waiting on the cauli to bake make the sauce
• • Melt the butter in a saucepan and add in the flour
• Cook for around 2 minutes until it starts to brown
• Stir it constantly
• • Gradually add the milk in small additions stirring well between each addition
• If you add too much milk at a time you are likely to get a lumpy sauce which can be hard to correct
• • Reserve some of the milk, around 50ml, to adjust the sauce at the end if needed
• • Cook over a gentle heat for a few minutes • Add in the nutmeg, mustard, cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste • If the sauce is too thin add in some extra milk
• • Once the cauliflower is ready mix it through the sauce and return the lot back into the casserole dish topping with extra cheese if desired
• • Return to the oven and the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is browning
