I have been watching a lot of baby-led weaning videos for more ideas on what to feed my little girl. A British lady mentioned this dish and it sounded intriguing. She made hers as a soft puree, which didn’t appeal to me, so I roasted my broccoli and added an American spin to my cheese sauce.
- 1 head of fresh cauliflower, cut into large florets
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp ground mustard
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp Frank’s Hot Sauce
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- On a foil-lined baking sheet, mix cauliflower, oil, garlic powder, black pepper, ground mustard and parmesan cheese until all of the cauliflower is well-coated.
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- In a small pot, add cornstarch, shredded cheese (I like to mix up the cornstarch and cheese as it helps distribute the cornstarch evenly), cream, water and hot sauce.
- Cook on medium high heat, stirring frequently, until cheese has melted and sauce has thickened, approximately 5 minutes.
- Place the roasted cauliflower in a greased casserole dish.
- Top with the cheese sauce.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

It’s so creamy and warm and comforting. Roasting the cauliflower prevents it from tasting like a bowl of mush. You can eat it in a bowl all by itself, or serve it with something simple like browned ground beef or grilled drumsticks.
