Ingredients

• 8 cups chopped cauliflower florets, 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 3 tbsp flour
• 2 cups almond milk (can substitute ff milk)
•  2 cups grated sharp cheddar

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
2. Place 1 inch of water in a large pot with 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook until tender crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside in a large bowl.
3. Heat butter and oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook about 2 minutes.
4. Stir in flour. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring continually 3 – 4 minutes, to cook out the flour. Add milk and continue whisking, raising heat to medium-high until it comes to a boil and becomes smooth and thick, about 2 minutes.
5. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
6. Once it becomes thick, remove from heat.
7. Add the cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup at a time mixing until cheese is all melted.
8. Stir in cooked cauliflower.
9. Pour into a baking dish and bake until bubbly and golden, about 15 to 20 minutes.
10. Broil 2 minutes, or until the top is slightly browned.
