Creamy baked cauliflower
Being a bi-ethnic family, we celebrate Christmas twice. On Christmas Eve it's Filipino-style. This year we had the roast and noodles catered, but I noticed we didn't have any veg. So I whipped up this baked cauliflower dish. There were a few initial comments around the table that the dish wasn't Filipino, but no one complained once they tasted it.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400 F.
- 2
Melt half the butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and fry until the cauliflower's softened slightly and has some caramelized bits. This'll take about 5 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper, then transfer the cauliflower to a medium baking dish.
- 3
Melt the other half of the butter in a small saucepan on medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the flour and whisk for another 2 minutes. Pour in the milk and keep whisking until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. At this point, the sauce should still be quite soupy, not as thick as a regular bechemel.
- 4
Whisk the cheese into the sauce along with a dash of salt and several grinds of freshly cracked white pepper. The sauce should get quite a bit thicker. Stir in the summer savory. If you don't have savory, use dried thyme.
- 5
Pour the sauce over the cauliflower. Mix the panko with a splash of olive oil and a dash of salt, then sprinkle it on top. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, until bubbling and golden. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving, to allow the sauce to set.

Loaded Cauliflower Bake Loaded Cauliflower Bake
I made a loaded cauliflower bake once from a recipe I found. It was good, but it used cream cheese and that's not always "my thing". I thought something just seemed to be missing (I think it was the mayo). So I tinkered with ingredients till I figured out what I liked best and voila. Lol

Easy Roasted Cauliflower Easy Roasted Cauliflower
Cauliflower may not be the most exciting of veggies, but roasting it completely changes the flavor. It is, by far, the best way to enjoy this veggie. This makes a wonderful side dish to any meal or it can be the starter to delicious cauliflower soup. This basic recipe calls for just salt, pepper and garlic powder, but it's also so good made with a variety of different seasonings.
