Ingredients

  • 4 pounds Cauliflower
  • 1-1/2 Tablespoon Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Flour
  • 2 cups Hot Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoons Freshly Grated Nutmeg
  • 1 cup Shredded Gruyere
  • 1/4 cups Shredded Parmesan
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • 1/2 cups Shredded Gruyere
  • 1/4 cups Panko
  • 1 Tablespoon Melted Butter

Method

  • Start out by boiling a large pot of water and washing the cauliflower. Remove the green and chop into florets. Boil for 5-6 minutes, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F and start on the sauce. In a small sauce pot, melt the butter over low heat, then add the flour, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Pour the hot milk into the mixture and stir until it comes to a boil. Boil for about a minute, constantly whisking, until it thickens up a little. Take the sauce off the heat and add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, Gruyere, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Pour half of the sauce into a 9x13 baking dish, pour in the drained cauliflower, then add the remaining sauce. For the topping, sprinkle the Gruyere and the panko on top. Drizzle the melted butter on top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes. Then broil on low for 5 minutes.
