Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
1 large head cauliflower (about 3 pounds)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups milk
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 cups shredded gruyere cheese
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese bread crumbs- or coarsely ground fresh bread crumbs)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a 1-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Trim the cauliflower and cut into florets.
  • Steam the cauliflower in a large pot with a little water over medium-low heat until tender. Remove the cauliflower from the pot to a towel to remove excise moisture.(Or you could roast the cauliflower for about 30 minutes, turning once, at 400*F.).
  • Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the butter has melted, whisk in the flour. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
  • Add the milk, whisking all the time to make sure there are no lumps.
  • Cook another 3 to 4 minutes, and let the sauce thicken. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and add the nutmeg.
  • Put the cauliflower into the prepared pan. Top with half of the cheese. Pour the white sauce (bechamel) over the cheese. Top with the remaining cheese and the bread crumbs.
  • Bake, uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
