The method

1

Break your Cauliflower into florets then heat your oven to 200°C.

2

Place the florets into a large bowl with the olive oil and toss to ensure each floret is coated. Season well. Then transfer onto a large baking tray. Roast for 20 minutes until lightly charred. Allow to cool slightly and turn down the oven to 180°C.

3

Put the butter into a pan over a medium heat, once melted and foaming, add in the flour. Continue to stir for around 5 minutes until the butter is golden brown.

4

Put the milk and cream into a measuring jug. Turn down the heat and add a splash of the milk/cream mixture and stir quickly. Keep adding the mixture 2-3 tablespoons at a time, stirring well. Continue until you have a thick, smooth sauce.

5

Continue to cook for around 15 minutes more, then remove from the heat and add in the cheddar. Add a pinch of nutmeg and season well.

6

Place the cauliflower florets into a deep baking dish and pour over the sauce. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until golden and bubbling. Enjoy!
