So I needed to get a good dose of veggies into their day and wondered how the old cauliflower cheese would go. Remember having that as a kid? It's right up there with Tuna Mornay and Macaroni Cheese with crunchy smiths chips or breadcrumbs on top!
Anyway, rather than take you down a typical Aussie memory lane, I will just give you the recipe. So easy, and such a great concealer of veggies. The kids loved the "white stuff".
Cauliflower Cheese
500g cauliflower - cup into bite size pieces
Or any veggies like broccoli, carrots etc.
30g butter
3teaspoons flour
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1/ Steam cauliflower for a few minutes until tender and place in a shallow oven-proof dish.
2/ Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add flour and cook, stirring for a minute until golden and bubbling.
3/ Add the milk, stir with a whisk until the milk boils and thickens. Take it off the heat and add half of the cheese (and some nutmeg, salt and pepper, if you like).
4/ Pour the sauce over the cauliflower. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs.
5/ Place under a hot grill until the cheese has melted and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Tips:
I always double the white sauce. I just never seem to have enough no matter what.
