a friend shared this with us last thanksgiving and now it's been added heavily into our rotation.
cauliflower gratin
makes one 9x13 casserole
1 large head cauliflower, cored and cut into florets
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp flour
1 cup grated Parmesan (or white cheddar)
salt and pepper
1/2 cup panko (or breadcrumbs)
1 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, heavy cream flour and 3/4 cup grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
Transfer mixture to a baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup cheese and panko (or breadcrumbs). Sprinkle over cauliflower. Dot with butter and bake, uncovered, until topping is golden brown and cauliflower is tender when pierced with a knife, 10 minutes.
If still not browned on top, broil for another 5 minutes. Let cool 5 mins before serving.
