This Whole Roast Cauliflower Cheese with Wild Garlic recipe is one of my family favorites. It is such a special way to cook the humble cauliflower. Cauliflower is a very nutritious vegetable, but unless it is cooked well, it can be tasteless. Thankfully, with this recipe, you can say goodbye to tasteless cauliflower!
Start by pre-cooking the whole cauliflower in a large pot of boiling water. Once softened, place in a colander to drain and cool. Make the sauce by combining Cheddar cheese, creme fraiche, a beaten egg, melted butter and chopped garlic leaves. Season with salt and pepper and pour over the cauliflower before baking in the oven until golden and bubbling. Serve with a fresh green salad and some wild garlic flowers on top.
To make my Whole Roast Cauliflower Cheese with Wild Garlic, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 450 °F.
Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Place the whole cauliflower in the boiling water and simmer for 30 minutes, covered. Turn the cauliflower over half way through to ensure even cooking. Remove the cauliflower from the poaching water and leave to rest in a colander to cool.
Place 225 grams of grated cheese, 225 milliliters of creme fraiche, 1 large beaten egg, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 10 diced wild garlic leaves in a bowl. Mix well and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Place the cooled cauliflower in an oven-proof dish and brush lightly with olive or rapeseed oil. Pour the sauce over the cauliflower.
Bake the cauliflower for 20-25 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and golden brown.
Place on a serving plate with the excess sauce from the baking dish. Scatter with wild garlic flowers and serve with fresh crusty bread and a crisp green salad.
