    Love this. I used only 2/3 of a cauli. A sprinkle of nutmeg and small handful of shaved parmesan cheese in the white sauce. Finished with 1/4 cup breadcrumbs and cheese on top. It was more saucy than usual but we loved it.

    Add milk, flour, butter and salt if using to TM bowl, cook on 90c for 7 minutes, speed 4

    For the last minute of cooking time add in the remaining cheese chunks and mix at speed 7 for 10 seconds, then drop down to speed 3 until timer finishes

    Chickita79:

    I've also previously rated this recipe, and It's a definite keeper in this house (love the idea of adding stock - will try that next time!)

    I have to agree with you about the spacing in the recipe. It's so hard to read when you're cooking! Glasses

    Submitted by Chickita79 on 23. February 2017 - 22:36.

    I have already rated this dish (full marks) but today I made a few minor changes which has turned up the volume on this already delicious side dish.

    As suggested, I halved the sauce qantities (this was a perfect amount of sauce), added 1tsp of stock (instead of salt) and 1/2 tsp of mustard, and a bit of black pepper. Sensational. Thank you for this recipe.


    However, PLEASE CORRECT THE SPACING in the recipe! It's tricky to read/follow tmrc_emoticons.-)

    Submitted by AMG86 on 11. November 2016 - 07:37.

    This was excellent! I didn't read the recipe properly, and grated all of the cheese with the bread crumbs, so just added extra cheese, ( and a clove of garlic, some ground pepper and a sprig of thyme) to the flour/milk/butter mix. YUM! My cauliflower hating mother ate it and said it was great

    Submitted by Megsy13 on 9. July 2016 - 21:59.

    Deliciously creamy, cheesy sauce!

    There was probably a bit much sauce for the califlower I had - perhaps mine was a little on the small side, but it was really delicious, so the extra was mopped up pretty quickly! I didn't add salt, and didn't miss it.

    I look forward to trying some variations, as it's such a versatile sauce! It would be delicious as a finishing sauce over veggies, and some of the variations in the reviews sound fantastic!
