Whole Roast Cauliflower Cheese with Wild Garlic
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.

That's quite a unique way of cooking cauliflower, interesting will certaintly be trying it out.
One of my favorite cauliflower recipes along with the buffalo cauliflower wings.
That crisp at the top really is perfection itself i love all things crunchy or slightly crunchy and this is exactly that.
I really liked the sauce and will be using it in a lot more than just this, hell maybe even on some steak or chicken wings.
Best recipe I've found on here so far I even took some of the leftovers to work the next day and ate it cold, still tasted like heaven.
Not, a big fan of cauliflower but I thought I'd try it nontheless, it was okay.
Felt as if something was missing in flavor but it was still tasty.
I dropped some more cheddar in it cause I love cheese :)
Yep, I liked it way more than i was thinking i would too this is legit the best whole roast cauliflower you could even imagine.
Well done! Verified!
