PREP TIME 15 minutes
COOK TIME 45-60 minutes
SERVES 4-6

INGREDIENTS

  • 1.2 kg cauliflower, trimmed, cut into florets
  • 50 gm melted Ashgrove butter
  • 200 ml Ashgrove full cream milk
  • 200 ml Ashgrove cream
  • 220 gm Truffled brie cheese diced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 50 gm Ashgrove vintage cheddar, finely grated
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 8 sage leaves
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

 

METHOD

Step 1 

Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan-forced).

Step 2

Place the cauliflower on a baking tray and drizzle with butter and a little olive oil, tossing to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until slightly darkened and almost cooked through.

Step 3

While the cauliflower is roasting, heat a pot over low-medium heat and add the cream, milk, double cream, thyme, bay leaves, and cheddar. Cook until everything is combined, then let it cool slightly. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and slowly pour in the cream mixture, whisking until it forms a smooth, savoury custard.

Step 4

Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer it into one large baking dish or several smaller ones. Pour the savoury custard over the top, then scatter pieces of diced brie. Bake in the oven for another 15 minutes, until the custard sets and the brie is melted and golden.
