Cauliflower Cheese Slice Recipes

CAULIFLOWER CHEESE

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower; cover the saucepan with a lid and steam cauliflower until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Whisk flour into melted butter; cook, stirring constantly until raw flour taste cooks off and mixture darkens, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Gradually whisk milk into butter mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 8 minutes. Remove pot from heat; stir in Cheddar cheese. Season sauce with salt and white pepper.
• Stir steamed cauliflower into cheese sauce; season with salt and white pepper.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Brush 1/2 of the olive oil mixture over the tops of the cauliflower steaks.
• Roast cauliflower steaks in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Gently turn over each steak and brush with remaining olive oil mixture. Continue roasting until tender and golden, 15 to 20 minutes more.

CAULIFLOWER CHEESE SLICE

Steps:

• Grate or whiz in blender the cauliflower, until similar to breadcrumbs. Put in large mixing bowl
• In another bowl mix the grated cheese and optional extras, then add to the cauliflower mix and stir thoroughly.
• Next add the beaten egg to the cauliflower cheese, and use washed clean hands to bind together.
• Preheat oven to 160c. Line a square oven tray with parchment paper (ensure you have a similar shaped one spare for turning)
• While oven is warming replace mixture to fridge.
• When oven is hot, remove mixture from fridge and stack in centre of parchment paper about 1 and a 1/2 inches deep. Use a fish slice to try and make as square as you can.
• Cook in oven for about 40 minutes in centre of oven, until it starts to golden up in colour.
• Now line another oven tray (similar size) with parchment paper and place on top of other (hot) tin. Be careful, and flip over. So the new tray is now at bottom, and old parchment paper is at top. Carefully remove old paper.
• Return to oven and cook for another 20 until golden brown.
• Serve with sausages, bacon, veggies.

CAULIFLOWER WITH CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place cauliflower in a large pot and pour in enough water to cover; bring to a boil and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a baking dish.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add flour and mix using a whisk or wooden spoon until smooth and mixture pulls away from the side of the saucepan, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in milk, a little at a time, and whisk continuously until sauce is thickened but still pourable, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir Parmesan cheese into sauce until melted; season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over all of the cauliflower. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
