Cauliflower Au Gratin
Gratin de chou-fleur
Gratin de chou-fleur
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup milk
- 6 ounces shredded gruyere or swiss cheese
- pinch nutmeg
- pinch pepper
- Cut the cauliflower into small flowerets and steam until just fork tender (about five minutes in the microwave).
- Prepare a bechamel sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the flour. Cook on low heat stirring for several minutes, or until the roux just starts to brown. Whisk in the milk gradually to form a smooth sauce. Warm until just simmering.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and gradually stir in about half of the cheese, the pepper and the nutmeg.
- Place the steamed cauliflower in a buttered baking dish and cover evenly with the cheese sauce. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake for 25 minutes at 350°F or until golden brown.
Makes 6 servings.
