Cauliflower Bake

This is a great way to make cauliflower. Add more cheese if desired. I used light cream when i made this. You can cover and chill for up to 24 hrs if making ahead. Bake in oven covered for 15 min then uncovered for 10 min.

Steps

Wash cauliflower and remove leaves and woody stem.

Break into floweretts.

In a medium saucepan cook cauliflower , covered , in a small amount of boiling salted water for 5 minutes.

Drain.

In the same saucepan cook onion in margarine or butter until onion is tender but not brown.

Stir in the flour , salt , pepper , and ground red pepper.

Add half-and-half , light cream , or milk all at once.

Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.

Add cheese , stirring until cheese melts.

Stir in cooked cauliflower.

Transfer mixture to a 1-quart casserole.

Bake in a 350 degree f oven about 15 minutes or until heated through.

Sprinkle the top with the snipped parsley.
