Try this delicious vegan take on traditional cauliflower cheese, made with soft and creamy plant-based Boursin®

Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 25g plain flour
  • 400ml plant-based milk
  • 1 plant-based veggie stock cube
  • 150g Boursin® Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs
  • handful of thyme, roughly chopped, plus extra to serve
  • 1 leek, cut into 2-3cm chunks
  • 1 medium cauliflower head, cut into medium florets

Method

Step 1
Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the plain flour and stir until combined, then gradually pour in the milk a quarter at a time, allowing it to fully absorb and thicken slightly before adding the next quarter.

Step 2
Bring the sauce to a simmer, whisking constantly, and cook for 4 mins until reduced, then mix in the stock cube, Boursin® and thyme.

Step 3
Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to a boil, then add the leeks and cauliflower and simmer for 6-8 mins until softened slightly. Drain the veg, then stir into the sauce.

Step 4
Tip everything into a large baking dish (around 30cm), then drizzle with oil, sprinkle over some black pepper and bake for 25-30 mins until golden.
