Step by step
Method
Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until just tender, making sure it still has a little bite.
In a saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the plain flour to form a smooth paste.
Gradually add the milk, followed by the single cream, whisking until the sauce is smooth and starting to thicken.
Stir in the wholegrain mustard, onion powder, mature cheddar and chicken stock, then continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is thick and creamy.
Add the steamed cauliflower to an ovenproof dish, pour over the cheese sauce and top generously with extra mature cheddar. Bake until bubbling and golden on top.
Cook's tip ♡
Don’t overcook the cauliflower before baking, or it can become too soft. Steam it until just tender so it keeps some texture once it goes into the oven.
