people
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower (about 3 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- ½ cup shredded Colby/Cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons butter, melted
- ½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and prepare a 1-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cook cauliflower in a pot of salted, boiling water for 5-6 minutes.
- Drain and place into the prepared baking dish. Season with a pinch of salt and ground pepper.
- To prepare sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk flour in so that it forms a light roux.
- Gradually add milk, whisking so that the roux blends in completely. Continue cooking and whisking until sauce thickens. Do not boil. Add salt and pepper.
- Stir in Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses and stir until cheeses are melted. Pour sauce over cauliflower.
- Sprinkle Colby/Cheddar cheese over the cauliflower.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter and bread crumbs. Mix until thoroughly combined with a fork.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs entirely over cauliflower.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.
