It's healthy cause of the cauliflower... slightly undercut by all the cheese lol
ingredients
- 1 (3-pound) head cauliflower, cut into large florets
- Kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, divided
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups hot milk
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Gruyere, divided (Mozzarella works well too)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cook the cauliflower florets in a large pot of boiling salted water for 5 to 6 minutes, until tender but still firm. Drain.
- Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes.
- Pour the hot milk into the butter-flour mixture and stir until it comes to a boil. Boil, whisking constantly, for 1 minute, or until thickened.
- Off the heat, add 1 teaspoon of salt, the pepper, nutmeg, 1/2 cup of the Gruyere, and the Parmesan.
- Pour 1/3 of the sauce on the bottom of an 8x11 by 2-inch baking dish.
- Place the drained cauliflower on top and then spread the rest of the sauce evenly on top.
- Combine the bread crumbs with the remaining 1/4 cup of Gruyere and sprinkle on top.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and drizzle over the gratin.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is browned. Serve hot or at room temperature.
