Recipe

Vegetarian, Gluten Free


Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp gluten-free flour
  • 500mL milk
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • Salt & pepper, to season
  • 1 cup cheddar or tasty cheese, grated
  • 2–4 tbsp gluten-free breadcrumbs or toasted almonds

Method


  • Preheat the oven to 200°C fan-forced.
  • Boil the cauliflower for 5 mins in boiling water until just tender.
  • Drain the cauliflower and place in a large baking dish.
  • Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat then add the flour, whisking constantly. Slowly add the milk, whisking frequently for a few mins until the mixture thickens. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

  • Take off the heat then add the cheese and stir until combined. Pour over the cauliflower and top with breadcrumbs.
  • Bake in the oven for 15–20 mins until golden and bubbling.
