This is a lower-carb side dish that pairs well with pork, ham or beef. It's so creamy and delicious! If you like a bit of crunch, sprinkle buttered bread crumbs over the top for the last five minutes in the oven. — Mary Zinchiak, Boardman, Ohio
Ingredients
Instructions
Place cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast in a 375°F oven for eight minutes, stir and continue cooking until crisp-tender and lightly browned, seven to eight minutes more.
In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 3 tablespoons flour until smooth, then gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly and cook until thickened, two to three minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in the Swiss cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, onion powder, ground mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper until smooth. Test Kitchen Tip: This recipe is best with fresh shredded Parmesan cheese. Pre-grated Parmesan cheese will make the texture grainy.
Pour 3/4 cup of the cheese sauce into a greased two-quart baking dish. Top with cauliflower and the remaining cheese sauce, then bake until bubbly and lightly browned, for 30 to 35 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh thyme.
