Mary Berry Cauliflower Cheese Recipe
A classic comfort vegetarian dish of cauliflower drenched in creamy cheese sauce.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lrg Cauliflower (Cut into florets or chunks)
- Salt and water (for boiling)
Cauliflower Cheese Sauce
- 200 g Strong Mature Cheese (add more if you want)
- 500 ml Milk
- 4 tbsp Plain Flour (or corn flour)
- 50 g Unsalted Butter
- Salt and Pepper (to season)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C for a fan oven, or Gas Mark 7) and lightly grease your ovenproof dish.
- Thoroughly wash the cauliflower and sever the florets into manageable chunks. In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil and cook the cauliflower florets for around 15 minutes until tender yet firm. After boiling, drain thoroughly.
- Position the cauliflower in the greased dish.
Cheese Sauce
- In a pan, gently melt butter over a low heat. Stir in flour to create a roux, to prevent lumps.
- Gradually add milk, whisking constantly, and simmer till the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Incorporate most of the cheese into the sauce until melted, reserving a portion for topping.
- Drench the cauliflower with the cheese sauce, making sure all florets are amply covered. Sprinkle the remaining cheese across the top.
- Place in the top part of the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the surface turns a rich golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
