Tender, sweet, serving-sized florets of cauliflower smothered with a blanket of rich, creamy cheese!
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower cut up into large florets, cooked until tender
- 2 tsp. kosher salt
- =Cheese Sauce:
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups milk, whole or 2%
- 1/2 tsp. table salt
- 1/8 tsp. white pepper
- 1 Tbsp. whole grain mustard
- 1½ cups (6oz) Sargento® Shredded Double Cheddar Cheese
- 4 slices Sargento® Sliced Swiss Cheese, torn into pieces
- 2 Tbsp. Sargento® Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 tsp. extra-hot horseradish
- paprika for garnish
Directions
- Gently boil cauliflowers pieces in salted water for 6-10 minutes, depending on size, until just tender. Drain; arrange in baking dish appropriately sized to fit a single layer.
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- In medium saucepan, heat butter over medium heat; add flour and stir until smooth and bubbling. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
- Whisk in milk; add salt and pepper. Cook the sauce, stirring, until thick and bubbly.
- Add the mustard, cheeses and horseradish and continue cooking and stirring until cheeses have melted.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower. Sprinkle top lightly with paprika.
- Pop into preheated 350º oven and bake, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through, just starting to bubble, and top is just starting to lightly brown.
- Remove and serve. (*Baking in lower half of oven helps to prevent over browning.)
