Creamy Cauliflower Cheese | The Perfect Christmas Side

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Roasting the cauliflower instead of par boiling is a game changer and adds so much more flavour. I’ve also tried this with broccoli and half and half as per one of your previous videos. My go to recipe now and a firm favourite for Christmas Day. Thanks as always for sharing. Merry Christmas ❤️🎄🙏🏻❄️

I add leek with the cauliflower and finish it off with a topping of paprika. This recipe is a good starting point for many variations.

You put this video just at the right time, I was looking for a side dish for my meal, this will be it, I will make an update to se how the rest of the folks thought of it at dinner. Thanks for the idea. 👍🏼

[@one-eyepadidally8449]

@@horokai You forgot to make that update! Haha

[@unicornbbq]

This turned out great. Increased roasting time and bake time by about 10 minutes on both sets, turned out great. Thanks for this. Going in the recipe book.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Great to hear you enjoyed it!

[@stevie7702]

One of my favourite side dishes

Looks Delicious

Thank you 😋

[@judyyap8657]

I did this for Xmas eve dinner and we all loved it. Great recipe! Thanks!!

[@martinraboy5971]

Just made this. Came out really nice. Baking cauliflower before adds extra flavor. Thank you. This is my first but not last recipe of yours that I follow. Thank you.

[@helengordon6332]

Absolutely yummy live the roasted cauliflower 😊

[@ChefJackOvens]

It's so good!

[@yiotacrosss]

My husband will love this like a proper Englishman would!!! Will come back and let you know! Thank you!

[@pushpaahuja4732]

Mouth watering. Like the idea of roasting cauliflower but will not make sauce so rich! Trying for first time. Hope it turns out just as tasty as yours. From India

[@flygrace]

Love cauliflower cheese. I usually have it as a meal in itself with bacon added. I fry the chopped bacon and use the rendered bacon fat as part of the base for the sauce. I also just microwave the cauliflower florets with a little water and use the water in the sauce - makes it a little less rich and adds cauli flavour. Then I mix everything together in a big bowl before transferring into an oven dish and baking until browned. Sometimes I use chorizo instead of bacon.

[@mixedmediaartgirl300]

That's exactly what I was gonna do minus the microwave, plus chives and a dollop of sour cream to finish

[@Cash_Alchemy]

I love that cutting board! 🤌🏼

[@virginiaeriguel8738]

Looks yummy

[@simonjohnwright5129]

I do mine the same way but also add fresh broccoli at the start, about 50/50.

[@WeCookWorldwide]

Lovely Jack! Merry Christmas!

[@patriciatreslove4449]

Happy Christmas Chef.

[@hainsey123]

Amazing 😍😋

[@ChefJackOvens]

Thank you 😋

[@redinarasha3229]

Well done

[@ChefJackOvens]

Cheers

[@KerimBekir-x9o]

Can the cauliflower be roasted and covered with the sauce, but baked an hour or so later? I would like to make it ahead of time.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Yes it can. It can be done the day before too

[@KerimBekir-x9o]

Thank you for the reply. So, just to clarify... You would roast the cauliflower, add the sauce and grate the cheese on top and then stick it in the oven the next day?

[@ChefJackOvens]

@user-fx7dk1mz9z yep

[@deenarjee3810]

Thanks for asking this. Im going to try it

[@KerimBekir-x9o]

Me too. All the best 😊

[@joelinden1482]

As this is totally roasted instead of boiled is the texture still soft when cooked?

[@ChefJackOvens]

Yes still soft and so much more flavour

[@one-eyepadidally8449]

⁠@@ChefJackOvens I’ve yet to make this, so I’m just wondering - is the extra flavor you speak about char flavor? I worry about the parts of the cauliflower that turned black, that they would add a char flavor (and that doesn’t sound appetizing to me). Thanks in advance if you respond. :)

[@kF-mj9uz]

Everybody loves chef jack 🎉😊

[@OneAndee]

Great recipe - I add Mushroom at the roasting part and add cooked bacon to the sauce. Whenever I host a dinner people enjoy the food but they always say the cauliflower cheese was the best dish 😂👌

[@andrewsmith4701]

Is there any way that I can prevent oil coming out when cooking…. must have pored out over 150 ml of oil… any suggestions?

[@helnbak9372]

Love it And liking the summer shorts too 😂😂

[@kF-mj9uz]

😊 great chef

[@websterforrest]

That looks fantastic!

[@zildog]

Will this work with broccoli?

[@F.Andre1377]

Yes

[@a_namele66l_Ihj_clreadh_4]

Jack had almost identical recipe with broccoli, you can look it up on the channel, so I believe yes, it will work

[@traceyhoyle1816]

Yes it does

[@ChiefTh3o]

@ChefJackOvens, I only have one random question…I honestly wanted to know where you take the food after preparing it ?

[@ChefJackOvens]

We eat it all, or share it with family

[@cookinthekitchen]

I'm here for this recipe, looks like a nice casserole

[@carolynyoung5022]

Merry Christmas and thank you x

Tq Jack for your healthy recipe...

[@cheezheadz3928]

The cauliflower is the only healthy part. 🤔

[@leidycristinavargas9723]

I love cauliflower and I love what you did with it. Please upload this recipe to your website, Chef. 🙏

[@cheezheadz3928]

You dont need a recipe. Cauliflower topped with roux.

[@pamcullen537]

Can I roast the cauliflower the day before and put sauce on next day or prepare the whole dish with sauce and cook next day ?

[@zebrasbean2385]

Cook it and then just reheat it ?

[@zebrasbean2385]

The sauce might get thick too tho

[@pamcullen537]

@@zebrasbean2385 Many thanks for the feedback, just figuring out what I can prep in advance

My lad loves cauliflower cheese I'm definatly going to do this instead of shop bought. U got a good sprout recipie too...?

@@dianes9416 Lol you expect Americans to know what parentheses are?

I had to buy a cheap digital scale, because so many recipes are in grams these days. It’s probably best you do too.

@@dianes9416 You should have told them to look in the description, as it’s perfectly understandable that the person didn’t think of even looking there since measurements are given in the video itself.
