Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium head of cauliflower cut into 1/2" slices
drizzle of olive oil
1-2 leeks white & lt green parts thinly sliced
kosher salt & black pepper
1 c heavy cream
1-1/2 c white cheddar cheese, greated

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 425° F.
  • 2. Drizzle olive oil onto the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish. Layer about a half of the cauliflower along the bottom, and about a half of the leeks. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Repeat until all of the cauliflower and leeks are used.
  • 3. Season the top layer with olive oil, salt and pepper, then pour over cream. Scatter cheese on top. Then, lightly cover with foil and place in the oven.
  • 4. Bake until cauliflower is nearly tender, 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake for 30-35 minutes or until cream has thickened and reduced almost completely, and the top is golden brown and crisp.
  • 5. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before eating.
