Delicious and easy. I loved this and it brought back lovely memories of my grandmother making cauliflower cheese
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.
Oh yum. This is the best cauli cheese. I did a mix of broccoli and cauliflower and it was just perfect.
Can this be frozen and reheated? Anyone tried freezing for later?
Has anybody doubled this recipe please? I made it on the weekend and it is so yummy but wasnt enough for the amount of people I need it for. If i double the ingredients do i also double the cooking time?
My fave Cauli Cheese recipe!
Make it Gluten Free with GF flour and GF bread for bread crumbs.
Can I add or substitute a bit of broccoli and carrot into this
So yummy and easy to make!! I added some chilli flakes and a little extra salt to suit my taste.
This is the perfect cauliflower cheese bake!! Thank you for sharing!
Oh and I'll be trying this very soon - it looks delish!
