Ingredients
- 3 slices white sandwich bread torn in large pieces
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 cups milk
- coarse salt and black pepper
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 head cauliflower cut into small florets
- 1 cup gruyere cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, combine bread and Parmesan. Pulse until coarse crumbs form, about 3 to 4 times; set aside.
- In a large saucepan with a lid, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour; cook, whisking constantly for 1 minute. Whisk in milk.
- Add cauliflower, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cover, and cook until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; gradually stir in Gruyere.
- Pour mixture into a 2-quart baking dish, and sprinkle with breadcrumb mixture. Cover with aluminum foil; bake until cauliflower is easily pierced with a knife, about 20 minutes. Remove foil, and bake until breadcrumbs are golden brown, about 20 minutes more. Serve.
