Instructions 

  • Prepare the cauliflower by trimming the stem and leaves off and cutting into bite-size flowerets.
  • Rinse under cold water. Place the cauliflower pieces into a large pot.
  • Add the diced onion to the pot. Fill the pot with cold water and add ½ a teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of ground pepper to the pot.
  • Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender. Once the cauliflower is fork tender pour through a colander and drain well. Pour the drained cauliflower and onion into a 2-quart baking dish. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the flour, ½ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon of ground pepper to the pot.
  • Using a metal whisk mix the flour and seasonings into the melted butter and whisk constantly for about 2 minutes.
  • After 2 minutes slowly pour the milk into the saucepan while whisking. Whisk until combined.
  • Continue to whisk the sauce until it begins to thicken.   Add the shredded Vermont Cheddar cheese and  ¾ of the shredded Gouda cheese to the thickened sauce in the saucepan.
  • Continue to stir with the whisk until the cheese has melted into the white sauce and the sauce is lump free.  Remove the saucepan from the burner.
  • Carefully pour the hot cheese sauce over the cooked cauliflower and onion. Mix well with a large spoon until all the cauliflower is coated with cheese sauce.
  • Sprinkle the remaining Gouda cheese over the top.
  • Bake in a preheated 375 F. degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese on top has melted and turned a light golden brown.
  • Makes 6 servings.
