Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup milk

  • 6 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste

Directions

  1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

  3. Heat butter in a small saucepan over low heat; cook and stir onion in the melted butter until softened, about 5 minutes. Add flour; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture just starts to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually pour milk into mixture, whisking into a smooth sauce. Cook until just simmering.

  4. Remove sauce from heat and stir in half the Cheddar cheese until melted; sprinkle with pepper and nutmeg.

  5. Place steamed cauliflower in the prepared baking dish; pour cheese sauce over cauliflower. Sprinkle with remaining Cheddar cheese.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and browned, about 25 minutes.
