I made this gluten free using the same quantities and it worked out great! I would love to double the sauce (i use a big pot/1.5 cauli's) not sure if my TM5 will allow the capacity? Has anyone tried it?

so yum! i did half broccoli half cauliflower and it was great. im not a fan of a breadcrumb top so just used some extra grated cheese on top. Have saved as a favourite!

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
Really good. Fuss free and very tasty

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
Really lovely thanks. I added
Really lovely thanks. I added half a leek chopped and sauted before adding milk etc. Also made 1/3 of the cheese parmesan.

Next time I think I'll add a little more flour, we like a thicker sauce.
Thank you for a great recipe.

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!

Totally amazing!I grew up
Totally amazing!I grew up eating cauliflower cheese. Sometimes it was all we ate for dinner. I have never eaten it with a crunchy topping though. This was AMAZEBALLS!!!!!
This is delish - might try
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
This is a big winner in my

I can't believe how tasty
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.
Very easy to make and quite
Very easy to make and quite tasty. I would improve on it with the addition of sharp cheese (like Romano) and black peppper.

I took a risk & used this recipe to make my first ever cauliflower bake for Christmas. I used a large head of cauliflower & a head of broccoli. It was super easy & the sauce was perfect. Lots of left over breadcrumbs popped in the freezer for next time I make this, which will be soon. Thanks for sharing!
Yummo!

I enjoyed this, thank you. I
I enjoyed this, thank you. I had a small head of cauliflower and found that I had too much sauce and waaaay too much breadcrumb so I'll adjust quantities next time. I also found the cauliflower to be mushy so I'll decrease the steaming time next time.

Yummy. As well as the whole
Yummy. As well as the whole cauliflower I also added a bunch of asparagus, three carrots (I microwaved all the veges) and tuna. Even with the extra base it didn't need more bechamal sauce although it could have done with more crumb topping. With the bechamal sauce I sautéed garlic in the beginning then added Dijon mustard and parsley at the end and it turned out great.
Yum, it was so creamy and
Yum, it was so creamy and tasty. I will save this recipe and make it time after time
