Recipe's preparation

Cauliflower Cheese Bake

Preheat oven to 220 degrees C. You can put a large casserole dish in to warm up with the oven at the same time.

Place bread and into TM bowl and grate for 5-10 seconds, speed 6. Measure in 40gm of the cheese then tip out and set aside. No need to wash TM bowl.

Add 500g of water to TM bowl, put cauliflower pieces in Varoma, set in place and cook 20 minutes, Varoma temp, speed 2.
Once cooked, set varoma aside with the cauliflower still inside and lid still on to keep warm.

Empty water out of TM bowl (no need to wash)

Add milk, flour, butter, mustard and stock paste (if using) to TM bowl, cook 7 minutes, 90 degrees, speed 4.
During the last minute of cooking time add in the remaining cheese and drop down to speed 3 until timer finishes.

Put cooked cauliflower in casserole dish.

Pour cheese sauce over the top and mix through.

Top with cheese and breadcrumb mixture. Bake on 220 degrees C for 15-20 minutes or until golden.

Tip

You can use a mix of cauliflower and broccoli or other veggies.

I put the veggies into my preheated casserole dish to get rid of some of the steaming moisture while waiting for the sauce to cook.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
