Ingredients

Cheese sauce:

Method

Cheese sauce: In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook flour, stirring, just until slightly darkened, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring, until thick enough to coat back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cheese, salt and pepper. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate until cold. Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours. Add 1/2 cup/125 mL hot water when reheating.)

Meanwhile, remove leaves from cauliflower; trim stem so cauliflower sits flat. Place in steamer over boiling water; cover and steam until tender, about 15 minutes.

Transfer cauliflower to foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Pour 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the hot cheese sauce over top; sprinkle with paprika. Broil until bubbly and browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to serving plate. Serve with remaining cheese sauce.
