    This has quickly become our favourite Cauliflower Cheese Bake! Love the cheesy breadcrumb topping!
    Easy to make a gluten free version using gluten free bread and gluten free flour for sauce, can’t even tell the difference.

    Great recipe, thanks!

    I added an onion plus four rashers of bacon.

    I had leftover Brie and cream so it was divine!

    I agree with the others re paragraph spacing.

    This is still in the oven, but we are all drooling over it. I’m sure it’ll be a hit. We have an abundance of homegrown cauliflowers.

    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.-)

    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!

    This is delish - might try some wine in the cheese sauce next time! The instructions need some spaces inbetween as it's a bit hard to follow as you cook.

    Yummy. Although I had my cauliflower pieces too big so think I needed to have them cooked enough on the steaming process and not rely on the oven to cook or soften them at all. Will definitely make it again but will be more mindful of how crunchy the cauliflower is

    I can't believe how tasty this is! I hated cauliflower cheese as a kid.  I made this for myself and my partner (with broccoli in it as well) and I kept a bit aside with just a small amount of sauce and pureed it for my baby.
