Step 1
In a large saucepan, cook cauliflower in boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes or until just barely tender-crisp; drain and place in prepared baking dish.

Step 2
In another saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; stir in flour and mustard. Whisk in milk and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat; stir in cheese. Add salt and pepper. Pour mixture evenly over cauliflower.

Step 3
In a small bowl, combine crumbs and butter; sprinkle over top of cauliflower mixture. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through.

Tips

Replace the cauliflower with broccoli or use a combination of broccoli and cauliflower, if desired.

DIETITIAN’S MESSAGE
When cooking vegetables, use as little water as possible or steam them. Water- soluble vitamins are lost in cooking water. You can also use the water in which you cooked vegetables to make soups. Serve this side dish with Sesame Steak for a protein-rich meal.
