Delicious cauliflower cheese cob: perfect for barbecues or as a vegetarian main dish. Garlic butter makes instant garlic bread, while cheesy filling pairs perfectly with grilled steaks and sausages. Crowd pleaser for any occasion!
Ingredients:
  • 600g cauliflower, trimmed, cut into florets
  • 1 leek, trimmed, thinly sliced
  • 50g (1/3 cup) plain flour
  • 500ml (2 cups) milk
  • 155g (1 1/2 cups) pre-grated 4 cheese blend
  • 1 large cob loaf
  • 50g bought garlic butter, melted
  • Fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan forced. Place cauliflower on a baking tray, then drizzle with oil and season with salt. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway, until lightly golden.
  • While the butter foams in a saucepan over medium heat, sauté the leek until softened for 3 minutes. Add flour and cook until mixture bubbles for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Gradually stir in milk until smooth. Return pan to medium-high heat, stirring until sauce thickens and boils for 5 minutes. Add two-thirds of the cheese, remove from heat, and stir until smooth.
  • Combine the cauliflower with the creamy cheese sauce, ensuring every floret is thoroughly coated. Season to taste and set aside.
  • Prepare a baking tray by lining it with baking paper. Use a serrated knife to cut off the top of the cob, about 3cm in thickness. Hollow out the bread inside, leaving a 2cm-thick shell, saving the inside bread for later use. Cut the lid into wedges and arrange the cob and wedges on the baking tray. Brush the inside of the cob with melted garlic butter and spray the wedges with oil. Bake for 10 minutes or until the bread turns a light golden color.
