Cauliflower Choice

This cauliflower cheese recipe sounds pretty tasty to us, though if you are making it don’t forget that the double cream will boost its fat/calorie content.

Ingredients

1 medium cauliflower
6oz (185g) PILGRIMS CHOICE Cheddar
4oz (125g) Self Raising flour
1 pint (475g) of milk
2oz (60g) butter

Salt and pepper to taste
