I've Made Cauliflower Cheese for 20 Years

In my opinion, no roast dinner is complete without a cauliflower cheese on the side. In fact, if I had it my way, every dinner would include a cauliflower cheese on the side. It’s probably one of my favourite meals of all time, and that’s why I have dedicated so much time to making my cauliflower cheese perfect.

TL;DR

  • Roasting cauliflower is superior to boiling or steaming for cauliflower cheese.
  • Seasonings like smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder enhance the flavor.
  • Roasting the cauliflower for 20 minutes at 200°C creates a golden, slightly crunchy texture.
  • The cheese sauce includes butter, flour, milk, cheddar, Parmesan, nutmeg, and Dijon mustard.
  • A final topping of mozzarella is added before baking until golden brown.
