Ingredients

800 grams Cauliflower (cut into florets)
50 grams Unsalted Butter
50 grams Plain flower
600 ml whole milk (Semi skimmed)
150 grams Mature cheddar cheese (grated)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper (To taste)
0.5 tsp nutmeg (optional)
50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/Gas Mark 6.
Prepare the Cauliflower: Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5 minutes, until just tender. Drain well and set aside.
Make the Cheese Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
Add Cheese and Seasoning: Remove the sauce from heat. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, nutmeg (if using), and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Assemble the Dish: Place the drained cauliflower florets in a baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the cauliflower. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top if using.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
