Ingredients:
Let’s start by gathering our culinary soldiers for this epic cheesy adventure:
One head of cauliflower (because we’re keeping it healthy, right?)
2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese (the sharper, the better!)
1 cup of mozzarella cheese (because who can resist that gooey stretch?)
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (for that extra kick)
2 cups of milk (whole milk for the win!)
3 tablespoons of butter (because everything is better with butter)
3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour (for that creamy consistency)
Salt and pepper to taste (because seasoning is an art)
Let the Cheesy Magic Begin:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). We’re about to turn up the heat on this cheesy affair!
Cauliflower Prep:
Break down that cauliflower into bite-sized florets. It’s like creating little pockets of joy that will soak up all the cheesy goodness.
Steamy Business:
Steam the cauliflower until it’s tender but still has a bit of bite. We want our veggies to be al dente, not mushy!
Cheese Sauce Extravaganza:
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir until it becomes a golden, bubbling masterpiece. Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure no lumps are left behind. Once the mixture thickens, it’s time to unleash the cheese trio – cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Stir until it’s a velvety, cheese-filled symphony.
Season and Spice:
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to get creative with herbs or spices that tickle your taste buds. We’re all about personalising this cheesy adventure!
Cauliflower Meets Cheese:
Combine the steamed cauliflower with the cheese sauce. Ensure each floret is coated in that gooey, cheesy goodness. This is where the magic happens!
Bake to Perfection:
Transfer the cheesy cauliflower mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle some extra cheddar on top because, why not? Bake until the top is golden brown and bubbling with cheesy joy.
Serve and Enjoy:
