Simple Cauliflower Cheese

Simple Cauliflower Cheese is classic comfort food at its best: tender cauliflower florets wrapped in a smooth, creamy cheddar sauce and baked until bubbling. The sauce is rich without being heavy, with a mellow savoury depth that lets the cauliflower shine.

It works beautifully as a hearty vegetarian main or as a side dish with roast meats and greens. The golden top and creamy centre make it especially satisfying on colder days. Serve straight from the oven with crusty bread or alongside a roast for a dependable crowd-pleaser.
