Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower into florets, place them on a baking sheet, and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and tender.

Cheese Sauce

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir for about 1 minute to create a roux. Slowly whisk in the milk and continue to whisk until the mixture thickens. Stir in the Irish cheddar cheese, mustard powder, paprika, and nutmeg until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
