Instructions
- Remove any leaves from the cauliflower, then add it to a deep and large enough pan filled with boiled salted water.
- Simmer for 10-12 minutes until the cauliflower is beginning to soften, but still has a slight bite to it.
- To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter, add the flour and whisk well.
- Pour in the milk, and whisk continuously to get a smooth sauce.
- Add the cheese, dijon mustard and black pepper.
- When the cauliflower is ready, arrange it on a roasting tray, and pour the sauce all over it.
- Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack at 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit) for 20 minutes or until golden and bubbling hot.
Notes
- Pre-boiling the cauliflower reduces the roasting time considerably, otherwise it will not be tender enough. and chances are it might burn before it's proper cooked.
