½ cup plain bread crumbs

Provided by á-6184

Number Of Ingredients 12

SAUCE:
1 cauliflower
Water
7 ounces cheddar, cut into sticks
12 ounces bacon, sliced
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons paprika powder
Salt
Pepper
1 cup low moisture mozzarella, for the topping
Fresh dill, for garnishing

Steps:

  • Add the cauliflower to a water-filled deep pot over high heat and bring it to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes. Place the cooked cauliflower on the work surface and bore deep holes in it using a cylindrical cutter. We made 13 of them. Insert the Cheddar sticks into the holes. Line a medium bowl with the bacon slices. Do that so that they radiate from the bottom center of the bowl upwards to its rim. Place the stuffed cauliflower in the bacon-lined bowl. For the sauce: Add the heavy cream, garlic powder, and paprika powder to a smaller bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix. Cover the cauliflower with this sauce using a kitchen brush. Wrap it with the bacon slices. Transfer the wrapped cauliflower on a parchment paper-lined baking tray and bake for 50 minutes at 320⁰F/160⁰C. Remove from oven and add the mozzarella on top. Bake for 10 minutes at 360⁰F/180⁰C. Serve garnished with fresh dill.

TRADITIONAL ENGLISH CHEDDAR CAULIFLOWER CHEESE - GRATIN



Traditional English Cheddar Cauliflower Cheese - Gratin image

When I was growing up, we NEVER called this dish a "Gratin" - it was always Cauliflower cheese and was invariably our main meal and NOT an accompaniment! My mother had to be very clever and thrifty in what she bought & cooked, and in the absence of meat on the table, she used cheese as the protein! This dish has become very "fashionable" again is served in many guises, Cauliflower Noisette, Cauliflower Gratin, Cheese and Cauliflower Bake...but to me, it will always be just Cauliflower Cheese, and it remains one of my favourite meals! I do serve it as an accompaniment now, but you have to be very careful what you serve it with, as it is very cheesy and rich. Alternatively, just have it as a main meal and serve some homemade bread and butter with it and maybe some salad or steamed spring greens! By the way, if you make a large batch, it freezes very well - either in small plastic containers or in zip lock bags; defrost and microwave to re-heat OR reheat over a Bain Marie. Try wherever possible to use English Mustard AND a good mature Cheddar cheese in the sauce, it DOES make a huge difference to the taste, and other types of mustards & cheeses do not work as well.
