  • Cauliflower in Dijon cream sauce is a wholesome, delicious dish. The light, creamy sauce pairs perfectly with tender florets, and the baked cheese crust makes it even more inviting. It's quite simple to put together. Wash the cauliflower and break it into florets. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the florets and cook them until half-done — about 10 minutes — then drain in a colander. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Finely grate the hard cheese. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the flour, lower the heat to the minimum, and stir the flour into the butter, working out any lumps until it's fully blended. Pour in the cream (10–15% — light cream is fine) and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Then stir Dijon mustard, breadcrumbs, and grated cheese into the sauce, holding back a little of the breadcrumbs and cheese to top the dish at the end. Keep cooking the sauce over low heat, stirring continuously with a spoon or whisk, until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then take it off the heat. Arrange the boiled cauliflower florets evenly in a baking dish so they all fit in a single layer. Pour the cream sauce over the top to coat every piece. Sprinkle with the reserved breadcrumbs and cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until golden on top. Garnish the finished dish with chopped dill and serve. Enjoy!
