This was fortuitous. Looking for something new and we had lots of the ingredients. Came to respect Veggie Oyster Sauce.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER:

• ▢2 lb cauliflower florets (I did half. Just for two of us.)
• ▢2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ▢1/2 tsp salt
• ▢1/8 tsp pepper

CHEESE SAUCE (MORNAY SAUCE):

• ▢4 tbsp  butter
• ▢3½ tbsp flour , plain flour
• ▢1 cup milk 
• ▢1 cup cream 
• ▢1/2 tsp salt
• ▢1/4 tsp nutmeg powder 
• ▢1 cup Red Leicester cheese (or cheddar), We mixed white and yellow cheddar
• ▢1/2 cup gruyère cheese , grated

TOPPING:

• ▢1/2 cup Red Leicester cheese (or cheddar), 
• ▢1/2 cup gruyère cheese , grated 

Instructions

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER:

• Preheat oven to 430°F
• Toss cauliflower in oil, salt and pepper and spread on a large tray.
• Roast 20 minutes (don't turn). Cauliflower should still be a firm, but with some color on them. Remove from oven.
• Turn oven down to 350°F.

CHEESE SAUCE (MORNAY SAUCE):

• Heat milk: Heat milk and cream until hot – either on the stove or in microwave.
• Make roux: Melt butter in a large saucepan or small pot over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring regularly, for 3 minutes.
• Add milk: While stirring, pour in half the milk. Once the roux is dissolved into the milk (mixture will thicken), stir in remaining milk. Stir on the heat for 1 minute – mixture should be thick enough to coat a wooden spoon.
• Add cheese: Turn the stove off, but leave the pot on the turned off stove. Stir in salt, nutmeg and both cheeses. The cheese will thicken the mixture so it's like a thick sauce.
• Mix in cauliflower: Add cauliflower and toss to coat in the sauce.

BAKE:

• Fill baking dish: Transfer mixture to a 2L / 2qt baking dish (30 x 20 x 5cm / 12 x 8 x 2").
• Top with cheese: Sprinkle over gruyère followed Red Leicester cheese.
• Bake at 180°C/350°F for 30 minutes until the cheese is melted, and cauliflower is bubbly and golden.
• Serve: Sprinkle with parsley if desired. Stand 5 minutes then serve!

Recipe Notes:

1. Cauliflower – You’ll need a large one ~ 1.25kg / 1.5lb to get 1 kg / 2lb florets. Pro tip: See here for how I cut cauliflower into florets with minimal mess.

2. Cheese – It’s always best to grate your own rather than buying pre-shredded stuff, which contains anti-caking agents that can make sauces powdery. If using cups instead of weight measures, grate then pack the cheese tightly into the cup to measure.

• Red Leicester – An orange coloured, sharp English cheddar-like cheese. Used for its excellent flavour and colour. US: Sub with your cheddar, it’s virtually the same. Others: Sub Swiss cheese (which is mass-produced gruyère-like cheese), Jarslberg, Colby, cheddar, or any other cheese. (For Australia, I do not recommend Tasty cheese, it doesn’t melt so well in this type of sauce);
• Gruyère –  A type of Swiss cheese with a gorgeous nutty flavour and superior melting qualities. Sub with any of the above listed, or other type of Alpine cheese (emmental, comte).

3. Storage – Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Freezer not recommended.

Make ahead: Cool cauliflower fully then toss in sauce. Store in a container. When ready to cook, heat mixture slightly so you can toss the cauliflower in the sauce. Transfer to baking dish, top with cheese, bake per recipe.

4. Nutrition per serving. This recipe as written is unapologetically indulgent, replicating the luxury you’d get at high end steakhouses with the cream and best cheeses for this dish. If you switch the cream for more milk, it decreases to 460 calories per serving. And you’ll cut 40 calories per serving for every ½ cup / 50g of cheese you cut out of the recipe.

 I made these hot crossed buns. They were delish.

I made these egg cookies.  They were also delicious, but need some work for next year. I used slow cooking oats so next year will try quick cooking oats. Also, the icing I made was too runny so need to find that exact place between runny and stiff. Otherwise lots of fun. I found the egg plate at Dollar Tree.
