Alternative cauliflower cheese
Classic cauliflower cheese uses flour to make a bechamel sauce.
Break up the cauliflower into florets and cook (steaming for 15 minutes is a good way. I use a collander type steamer over a pan of water.)
Beat 2 eggs into half a pint of milk or cream. add a teaspoon of made English mustard and mix in an ounce of grated strong cheddar cheese. Season. Pour this custard over the cauliflower in an oven proof dish. Sprinkle some more strong gated cheese ove and bake at 190 C for 35 minutes. The cheese topping should be bubbling.
Carb count is negligible.

Cauliflower Cheese
The cauliflower is a wondrous thing indeed. Sadly, no soaring poetic eulogies to this low carb foot soldier were available at the time of going to press. Instead, let this recipe for cauliflower cheese raise your spirits but not your blood sugar. Honestly, I could happily eat just this for dinner.
Ingredients
1 cauliflower, broken into bite sized florets
140ml double cream
125g mature cheddar cheese
1-2 tea spoons dijon mustard
1 large free range egg
salt & pepper
Steam the cauliflower (in a colander over a pan of boiling water) until a fork passes easily through the stems. Remove to a baking dish and discard the water.Pour the cream, cheese (reserve some to sprinkle over the dish) and mustard into the pan over a medium heat and stir until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg. Now pour the mixture over the cauliflower and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Bake in a fan oven at 170 until the cauliflower is golden brown (30-35 minutes).Now compose an ode to the cauliflower.
