1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 small cauliflower
15g melted butter
30g cheddar cheese, extra

CHEESE SAUCE
30g butter
3 tbs plain flour
2 cups milk
3/4 cup cheese, grated
Salt and pepper

Method:

  • Wash hands.
  • Cut the cauliflower into large florets.  Boil them in salted water until only just tender.  Drain and set aside.
  • To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan.  Add the flour and use a wooden spoon to combine them both.  Cook for 1 minute over the heat.
  • Add the milk gradually, stirring each time until smooth.  Continue to stir until the sauce boils and thickens.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the grated cheese, stirring it until it melts.  Set the sauce aside.
  • Prepare a 20cm square casserole dish by brushing it with oil or butter.  Then, put a third of the sauce over the base and arrange the cooked cauliflower on top.  Pour the rest of the sauce over the cauliflower.
  • In a small bowl, combine the fresh breadcrumbs, extra melted butter and extra grated cheese.  Sprinkle this over the top of the cauliflower.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.  Serve hot.
