Soft florets, blanketed in a thick, bubbling cheese sauce—the kind that catches golden at the edges and feels like home on a fork. It’s a dish that doesn’t need explaining, only eating.
Cauliflower cheese is for days when warmth matters more than elegance. When the oven hums quietly, and you’re happy to wait. The cheese can be sharp or mild, whatever’s in the fridge. A bit of mustard lifts it; breadcrumbs on top if you’ve got them.
Good on its own. Better beside a roast. Best eaten from a deep bowl, with the evening closing in.
