You just made me so hungry! And it's after midnight lol. I am now just mad about cauliflower, and as for cauliflower cheese... drool.

 

[Jim]

I always grate a boiled egg yolk over cauli, with browned butter. Yum Yum

 

[sona1980]

can someone just explain how much d/ cream to use and how much cream cheese?

i have a small pot of d/cream at home i think 100ml. will i need more than that to make 4 servings on cauliflower? Got my cream chese from tesco they have the big 500g tup of phili on for 99p at the moment!

 

[girlygirl1]

Philadelphia cream cheese... mmmm... thud. (just fainted).

 

[Jim]

:faint2:

 

[sona1980]

so do i heat the cream on the stove and stir in the cream cheese or chuck them both in together? im gona make a mess of this i already know it!!!

 

[Nellyphant]

I do what Laura does and chuck it all in a saucepan and stir. If you want it thicker add more cream cheese, runnier add more cream. It's really easy honest!

 

[sona1980]

well i will let u know how it goes....

 

[sona1980]

if this works then i will have three recipies on my side that ican make atkins friendly!!

Be interested to hear how you get on Sona, I have a freezer full of cauli & brocolli feel a cheesey bake coming on!

 

[sona1980]

lolz i have some brockli aswell might chuck that in too...
so i boil the cauli till its tender
mix the cream cheese with the double cream.. stir in some grated cheese and season.

pop the cauli in a dish pour over sauce and sprinkle with grated cheese.... think i could chuck in some chopped biled egg??? then grill till cheese melts and slightly brown?

im hungry just thinking about it!!!

well if i get time i m making that also desprate housewives is on tonight so i might be watching that instead!! lol

 

[Jim]

and the result was?

 

[sona1980]

it was FAB! yum!
maybe sauce was a bit thick but still yummy

 

[Jim]

Oh good, that's nice then.

 

[sona1980]

so now i have three foods i can cook!

cauliflower and cheese
sheaperd pie (with cauli mash)
quiche

all of which can be portioned and frozen!

the cauli and cheese was REALLLLYYYYY easy and quick to make!
maybe make a bigger batch next time and freeze some of it!

im thinking of making this and the other two and pack them in to boxes in the freezer.. have abig cookathon one day and rest for a couple of weeks!!

 

[Jim]

Cheese sauce doesn't freeze well Sona.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Tried it last night... tasted yummy but think I need to work out the proportions as its was a bit runny... too much cream me thinks!

 

[sona1980]

lol i had too much cream cheese and not enough cream! lolz i thinki liked it thick! also 110ml of cream, about 200g cream cheese and a cup of grated cheese made 4 portions of cauliflower cheese. i didnt really weight the cauliflower though i just tipped it in the cooking dish and cooked the amount that fit nicly in the dish.

was sooooooo easy and quick to make!!

 

[sona1980]

Well cauliflower will have to be cooked and eaten that week then! ahh well it makes my meals at work SOOO much easier i dont have to worry about what im eating!
