salt & pepper |
1/4 cup fine breadcrumbs |

1 cup grated cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Wash cauliflower; remove stalk end.
3. Cut into quarters; remove hard stalk.
4. Divide into florets; cook in boiling salted water until tender; drain.
5. Heat butter in pan.
6. Add flour; stir over low heat 2 minutes.
7. Remove from heat.
8. Add milk gradually; stir until smooth.
9. Return to heat; stir until boiling.

11. Stir in egg yolks, cheese and cauliflower; adjust seasonings to taste.
12. Beat egg whites until stiff; fold into mixture.
