Cauliflower Gratin

Preheat oven to 375ºF and grease 11x7 casserole dish (2 qt) with butter or oil. Set aside.

Boil Cauliflower: Bring a large pot of water to boil. Place cauliflower florets in pot (making sure water is covering cauliflower) and cook for 5 minutes. Cauliflower should be tender but not too soft. Drain and pat dry, then transfer to prepared dish.

Make cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add butter and flour. Stir constantly until well combined. Slowly add in milk, whisking until combined. Reduce heat to medium and allow mixture to thicken, stirring occasionally, about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic, pepper, nutmeg, gruyere cheese and ½ cup parmesan. Whisk until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Pour over cauliflower in dish and set aside.

Breadcrumbs: In a small bowl combine breadcrumbs with remaining ¼ cup parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined and sprinkle evenly over cauliflower.

Bake: Bake cauliflower for 20-25 minutes, or until breadcrumbs are golden brown. Let dish stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
