Delicious cheesy goodness over warm veggies. What could be better? Rachael Ray made a version of this, but I didn’t quite like her recipe. I searched for one I did like, but didn’t have any luck, so I just made my own version. Hope you all like it! I used green and orange cauliflower in mine, but the normal white variety works too.
Ingredients:
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
2 Cups Milk
2 Cups Monterey Jack Cheese, grated
1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
Preheat over to 400°F.
Blanch the cauliflower by placing it in a large pan of boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain.
Using the same pan that you blanched the cauliflower in, melt butter over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and let it thicken for 2-3 minutes. Stir in monterey jack cheese and let it melt completely. Combine cheese sauce and cauliflower in an 8×8 baking dish. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake for 30 minutes. The sauce should be bubbly and the top lightly browned.
I served this with pork chops the first night, and with porcupine balls the next.
Chloe isn’t a huge fan of cauliflower (yet), but she kept trying it. Maybe she will like it next time.
I have not bought orange cauliflower before. Will have to try it.
