Cauliflower Cheese Bake
1 head cauliflower cut into florets
1/2 c corn kernels
1/2 c frozen peas
1 lg onion sliced
2 c milk heated
3 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp
3 tbsp flour
1 c parmesan cheese + 1/3 cup
1/2 c shredded mozzarella
2 cloves garlic minced
1 1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp nutmeg (if you can use freshly grated it is far superior than pre-ground)
salt & pepper
1/3 c breadcrumbs
Oven 375F
Blanche cauliflower, set aside in bowl with peas and corn (defrosted if frozen). Saute onions, on medium heat, in 1 tbsp butter until golden brown about 15 mins, add to bowl.
In a saucepan melt 3 tbsp butter, add flour and stir until incorporated over medium heat, cook 3 mins until golden in color. Add the heated milk and whisk together, cook over a low heat until mixture starts to thicken. Add garlic, spices and cheeses (minus 1/3 c parmesan), big pinch salt and pepper and mix again.
Grease a baking dish (8 x 8 or similar) spread vegetable mixture in evenly then pour cheese sauce over. Sprinkle top of bake liberally with the breadcrumbs and the last of the parmesan (1/3 c). Bake 35 mins until golden brown and bubbling.
molten hot bubbling cheesy goodness, I served this with a simple side salad.
