Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets.

  2. 2

    Cook the Cauliflower

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 5-7 minutes, until just tender. Drain and set aside.

Cheese Sauce

  1. 3

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and milk, then bring to a gentle simmer.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese and Seasonings

    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded Gruyere cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 5

    Combine Cauliflower and Cheese Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower florets with the cheese sauce. Stir well to coat the cauliflower evenly.

  2. 6

    Prepare for Baking

    Transfer the cauliflower mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly.

  3. 7

    Add Topping

    In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with extra Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cauliflower gratin.

  4. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
