Cauliflower Cheese
We've always adored cauliflower (or Broccoli) in a cheese sauce but slimming world does not allow for our usual recipe so here's one I've put together that gets a similar result. It's not the creamy, buttery sauce I was used to but at only 2 syns per serving, it'll do nicely
Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 Large Cauliflower
- 100 ml Semi Skimmed Milk
- 1 Chicken Stock Pot
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 500 g Quark
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard heaped
- 50 g Parmesan cheese grated
- 6 Spring Onions Chopped diagonally
Instructions
- Split the cauliflower into florets and wash. Also save some of the small inner leaves to use too.
- Blanche the florets and the leaves in a pan of boiling water until tender then drain well and arrange in an overproof dish, tucking the leaves between the florets.
- Add the quark, mustard, milk, stock pot and seasoning to a pan and slowly bring to a simmer. Adjust the seasoning then stir in the cornflour mixed in a little cold water to thicken the sauce.
- Pour over the cauliflower, sprinkle with chopped spring onions and Parmesan cheese and then bake for about half an hour on gas mark 5 until cooked through and starting to brown. For a better result, I sprayed with frylite when baked and finished under the grill for 5 minutes
I am going to try this ive longed for cauliflower cheese and I agree its a no nonon slimming world. Thanks for putting your idea up for other to see and use.

Where does the cheese come it to this?
When do you put the cheese on it?
Parmesan at the end
Going to try this for myself. Will make usual creamy sinful one for husband as he is as thin as a lath. Will let you know how it goes. PS can you re heat it?
Not good.
I loved the sound of this, Tried this several times, followed instructions, very carefully, but kept splitting.
