For a richer flavor, consider using heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce for warmth. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese adds a delightful savory note. To prevent scorching, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir frequently, especially as the sauce thickens. For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the cauliflower mixture before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
10 mins
In a large saucepan, place the cauliflower florets. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the cauliflower is just tender, approximately 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to overcook; the florets should retain a slight bite. Drain well and return the cauliflower to the saucepan. (Time: 10 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Add the milk, butter, salt, and pepper to the saucepan with the drained cauliflower. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the milk from scorching. (Time: 5 minutes)
03
Step
1 mins
In a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch until the cornstarch is completely dissolved, forming a smooth slurry. (Time: 1 minute)
04
Step
5 mins
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering milk-cauliflower mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to simmer for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. (Time: 5 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If desired, stir in the chopped fresh chives. Serve hot as a comforting and flavorful side dish. (Time: 1 minute)
