My mother gave me this
recipe several months ago and I finally got around to trying it. If you're a
cauliflower fan, I think you will enjoy it, too!
Cheesy
Cauliflower
1 large head cauliflower
2 T. butter
minced garlic
3 T. flour
2 cups milk
2 ounces softened cream
cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded
cheddar cheese, divided
salt
freshly ground pepper
Clean cauliflower, removing the core and large stems. Separate the florets and cut into small
pieces. In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the cauliflower for about 5
minutes. Thoroughly drain and allow to dry. Pat dry with paper towel, if
necessary. Set aside.
In a large pan, melt
butter and cook the minced garlic for a few minutes. Add flour and stir until
it’s lightly golden. Slowly stir in the milk and bring to a low simmer. Whisk
in the cream cheese until it melts and add salt to taste. Remove from the heat
and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar.
Place cauliflower in a 9
by 13 glass pan. Pour the cheese sauce over the top and then stir to combine.
Sprinkle remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar on top and add freshly ground pepper. Bake in a 350 degree
oven for 30-40 minutes until cauliflower is tender.
