Cauliflower: trending, tasty, and multipurpose vegetable.

Ingredients:

1.2kg whole cauliflower, trimmed
50g butter
82.50 ml plain flour
515.00 gm milk
187.50 ml tasty cheese, grated
82.50 ml parmesan, finely grated (see note)
1 tsp fresh lemon thyme leaves

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 200C (180C fan-forced).
Lay the cauliflower on a microwave-safe plate and cook on high for 8 to 10 minutes until tender.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and cook, stirring, until bubbling for about 1 minute. Gradually pour in milk, stirring until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer while stirring constantly for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup tasty cheese and 2 tablespoons parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread 1/3 of the sauce on the bottom of a 5cm-deep, 22cm round ovenproof dish. Arrange the cauliflower in the center, then pour the rest of the sauce over it. Sprinkle the remaining tasty and parmesan cheese on top.
Bake until cheese turns golden for about 20 minutes. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme before serving.
