Ingredients
1 large head of cauliflower
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prep the Cauliflower
Wash the cauliflower and remove the leaves and core. Attach the 2-Blade Set to your cheese grater hand crank and secure it to the countertop with its stable suction base—no slipping or wobbling! Feed the cauliflower florets into the hopper and turn the Z-shaped handle a few times to shred them into fine pieces.
2. Prepare the Cheese Sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until thickened, then stir in 1 ½ cups of the shredded cheddar until melted and smooth.
3. Assemble the Casserole
Preheat your oven to a suitable baking temperature. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cauliflower with the cheese sauce, mixing well. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar and breadcrumbs evenly on top. Drizzle with olive oil for a crispy finish.
4. Bake and Serve
Bake until the top is golden and bubbly, and the cauliflower is tender. Let it cool slightly, then garnish with chopped chives. Serve warm as a standalone dish or alongside your favorite protein!
Tips and Variations
Cauliflower Twist: Add a mix of broccoli florets (shredded with the 2-Blade Set) for variety.
Cheese Swap: Try Gruyère or mozzarella (use the 2-Blade Set) for a different flavor.
Crunch Boost: Mix ground almonds (use the 5-Blade Set) into the breadcrumbs.
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne or paprika for warmth.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to maintain texture.
