Ingredients
for the cauliflower cheese filling
- 1 head of cauliflower cut into florets
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 heaped tablespoons flour
- 3-4 cups milk heated
- large handful grated mature cheddar
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- salt & pepper to taste
for the pastries
- 400 g (14oz) ready-made puff pastry thawed
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Steam the cauliflower until cooked but not mushy.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter then whisk in the flour to create a roux.
- Slowly pour in the milk (you might not need all of it) whilst continuously whisking and allow to cook over low heat until the sauce is thick and smooth (approximately 5-10 minutes). You want the sauce to be slightly thicker than a normal bechamel.
- Take the sauce off the heat and add the cheese, mustard and cayenne pepper and season to taste.
- Stir in the cooked cauliflower then set aside.
- Roll the pastry out on a flour surface then cut each roll into 6-8 squares.
- Place a pastry square on the baking tray then spoon in a generous spoonful of the cauliflower mixture. Bring four corners into the centre and pinch together slightly (they might come loose but that's fine).
- Continue until you've used all the pastry and all the cauliflower cheese mixture.
- Brush the pastries with beaten egg then place in the oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven then top with grated parmesan cheese (optional) before serving.
