Step 3

Take 3 tablespoons of flour and 3 tablespoons of butter. Cook your flour in the butter until you have a WHITE roux. (Approx. 3-5 minutes) Cook this over a LOW heat so you don’t burn it.

Step 7

In a small dish (I use an 8x8) add your steamed cauliflower. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, you may stir this LIGHTLY if you feel you need to.

Step 8

Place your dish into your preheated oven for 20-30 minutes. DO NOT COVER! You want the cheese to be brown, bubbly goodness.

Step 9

Once your au gratin is finished, allow it to cool slightly, and serve. ENJOY!
