Two Cheese Cauliflower Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until fork-tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and milk together in a bowl. Stir in Parmesan and Cheddar cheeses.
• Mix bread crumbs and melted butter together in a small bowl.
• Transfer steamed cauliflower to a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish. Add cheese-milk mixture and stir. Sprinkle with bread crumb mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/2 cup water. Microwave until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
• Whisk egg and flour together in a bowl. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Pour over cauliflower florets. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese and paprika on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and cauliflower is soft, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to its highest setting.
• Place the florets and a few of the inner leaves in a steamer with the pieces of bay leaf tucked amongst it.
• Pour in some boiling water from the kettle, sprinkle over some freshly grated nutmeg and salt, then cover and steam until tender.
• This should take about 12 minutes.
• After this time, test the thickest parts with a skewer to see if they are tender, then remove it to the baking dish and cover with a cloth to keep warm.
• Now pour 3 fl oz of the steaming water into a saucepan, add the crème fraîche and simmer.
• Whisk well until it has thickened very slightly, then add the cheeses.
• Heat this gently for about a minute, whisking, until the cheeses have melted.
• Season the sauce to taste and pour over the cauliflower.
• Scatter the spring onions and remaining parmesan over the dish, then sprinkle with the cayenne.
• Finally, place the dish under the hot grill until the cauliflower has browned and the sauce is bubbling.
