Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Steam the cauliflower until tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheese until melted. Let cool slightly, then stir in the egg yolks. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture, then gently fold in the cauliflower.
- Pour the mixture into a greased soufflé dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
- Serve immediately.
