Preheat the oven to 200°C / 392°F
First make a roux for the vegan cheese sauce. Melt the butter in a non stick saucepan, on a medium heat. Once the butter has melted add in the flour and whisk until combined – don't worry if it clumps up.
2 tablespoon vegan butter, 2 tablespoon plain flour
Gradually add in the oat milk, stirring continuously with a whisk as you do so. Add a good splash each time, whisk until smooth and then keep adding more until there's none left.
750 ml oat milk
Once all the oat milk is added, sprinkle in the nutritional yeast, turmeric and a pinch of salt and pepper.
2 tablespoon nutritional yeast, 1 pinch turmeric powder, Salt to season
Gradually start to add the cheese. Allow each handful of cheese to melt before adding the next one.
100 g Vegan Cheddar Style Cheese
Simmer the sauce for five minutes. Keep whisking it in order to make sure that it’s smooth. The sauce should thicken as it simmers.
Get an ovenproof dish and lay the cauliflower out in it. Cover with the sauce. Put the dish in the pre-heated oven and bake for ten minutes.
400 g cauliflower
Carefully take the dish out after ten minutes, and top with extra grated cheese and breadcrumbs. This will give the top of the cauliflower cheese a crispy texture on top.
A handful of extra vegan cheese, 2 tablespoon breadcrumbs
Pop back into the oven for another five to ten minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden, the cheese has melted and the cauliflower is cooked.
