How to Make Cauliflower Souffle Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, reducing heat to low. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens and comes to a simmer (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  5. Whisk in 4 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  6. Gently fold in 4 cups of cooked and riced cauliflower.
  7. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Let cool slightly before serving.
