Crunchy cauliflower cheese recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower (about 1kg/2lb 4oz), trimmed
  • 300g tub cheese sauce
  • 100g Swiss cheese such as gruyère or emmental, grated
  • 25g toasted hazelnut, crushed
  • 50g fresh breadcrumb

Method

  • Heat the grill to high. Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Meanwhile, break the cauliflower into even-sized florets. Drop into the pan and boil for about 7 mins, or until very tender.

  • Heat the cheese sauce either in the microwave on High for 1 min or in a small pan until heated through, but not boiling. Place the cheese, hazelnuts and breadcrumbs in a bowl and mix together.

  • Drain the cauliflower and place in the bottom of a large, shallow, baking dish. Pour the warmed sauce over the cauliflower, covering it evenly, then sprinkle with the breadcrumbs. Put under the grill for 5 mins, or until the cheese is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are golden and crusty.
