Cheesy Cauliflower

Adapted from this RecipeZaar recipe.



Ingredients:
1/4 large cauliflower
1/3 cup low fat milk
2 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons flour
1/2 ounce butter
1 teaspoon breadcrumbs
1/8 teaspoon dried English mustard
Dash of nutmeg
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 450°F.

Trim the cauliflower & break into small florets. Steam florets until tender. Drain in a colander and then place in a buttered ovenproof baking dish.

Meanwhile, add the milk, flour and butter to a saucepan. Heat and whisk continuously until the sauce thickens, boils and is smooth. Allow to simmer for another 2 minutes. Add three-quarters of the grated cheese, mustard, a pinch of nutmeg and salt/pepper. Cook until well blended.

Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower. Mix the remaining cheese, and breadcrumbs, if using, together, sprinkle over the top. Bake for about 15 to 25 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
