To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have cauliflower cheese using 8 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Cauliflower cheese:
- Get 2 large cauliflowers, chopped into medium sized chunks
- Prepare 500 ml low fat milk
- Get 50 grams salted butter, cut into small pieces
- Get 4 tbsp plain flour
- Make ready 400-500 g grated mature cheddar cheese

Cauliflower Cheese is a wonderful side dish to serve alongside your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It tastes wonderful, goes great with any roasted meats, particularly turkey and ham, and you can make ahead and then pop in the oven when needed, and who doesn't love cheese anyway! This is an easy recipe for cauliflower cheese but it's pretty versatile.
Steps to make Cauliflower cheese:
- Preheat the oven to 200°c fan.
- Add the cauliflower to a large pot and just cover the cauliflower with warm water. Turn the hob on full power, put the lid on the pot and bring the cauliflower to the boil. Boil for 5 minutes then remove from the heat, drain the water off and add the cauliflower to a large and deep baking tray.
- For the sauce. In a medium sized pot add the milk, flour, butter and 1/2 tsp garlic paste. Put the pot onto the hob, turn it up to full heat and stir continuously until it starts to boil. Do not stop stirring or it will burn very quickly. Once the mixture is boiling keep stirring for two minutes and then remove from the heat.
- Add black pepper to taste, I like to put a good amount in. Then add 200-250g of grated cheddar cheese and 200-250g of grated mozzarella to the sauce. Stir well. Sometimes the sauce will be lumpy and sometimes thick and stringy but this doesn't matter.
- Spoon the sauce evenly over the top of the cauliflower. It doesn't matter if there's gaps. Then cover the entire tray with the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Put the tray in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Keep a close eye on it from the 15 minute mark to make sure that it doesn't burn. Remove from the oven and serve.
