The Best Ever Cauliflower Cheese

Could this be the best cauli cheese recipe ever? Elevated with a hit of truffle, the cheddar sauce is the perfect consistency to smother the cauliflower florets, leaving you with a deliciously decadent dish. Corrrr.

Ingredients (Serves 2-4) 

• 1 cauliflower
• 80g mature cheddar
• ½ Chicken stock cube
• Knob of butter
• 1 tsp flour
• 8ml truffle flavoured extra virgin olive oil
• 5.5g dijon mustard
• 200g pot of crème fraîche

Method (Takes 55 mins) 

1. Cut the cauliflower and add the florets to a baking tray, drizzle with 1 tbsp vegetable oil and season with a pinch of salt.
2. Put the tray in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender and golden.
3. While the cauli cooks, dissolve 1/2 chicken stock cube in 50ml of boiled water and grate the cheddar cheese.
4. Heat a pot over a medium heat with a small knob of butter. Once melted, add flour and cook for 1-2 minutes or until a roux (sandy paste) has formed.
5. Stir the chicken stock gradually into the roux and stir in the truffle flavoured oil, Dijon mustard, crème fraîche and grated cheese – this is your truffle cheese sauce.
6. Once roasted, add the cauliflower to an oven-proof dish and pour over the truffle cheese sauce. Put the dish in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
