A warm and comforting cheesy baked cauliflower casserole with tender florets coated in a creamy cheese sauce and baked until golden and bubbly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the cauliflower florets, and cook for 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth and slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in the cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until melted and creamy.
  6. Add the cooked cauliflower to the sauce and stir until evenly coated.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  8. Bake for 25 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden on top.
  9. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve.

Notes

  • Drain the cauliflower well to avoid excess moisture.
  • Freshly grated cheese melts more smoothly than pre shredded cheese.
  • Let the dish rest briefly before serving for best texture.
