Cauliflower and Mornay Sauce

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Trim the cauliflower into florets and steam or boil until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Mornay Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden, forming a roux.

  3. 3

    Add Milk

    Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cheese

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Gruyere cheese until melted. Add nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Place the steamed cauliflower in a serving dish and pour the Mornay sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
