Method
0 of 9 done- Preheat your oven to 200┬░C (180┬░C fan/gas mark 6).
- Chop the cauliflower into small florets and steam or boil them for 5-7 minutes until just tender. Drain well.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the flour. Stir continuously to form a smooth roux and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens and is smooth.
- Add the grated mature Cheddar cheese and mustard to the sauce, stirring until the cheese has melted. Season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, if using.
- Place the drained cauliflower into a small baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower and mix gently to ensure all pieces are covered.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top for added crunch, if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
