Super-Simple Cauliflower au Gratin

submitted by Julie Christensen and Greg Smith
preparation time: about 1 hour
serves 6

1 large head cauliflower, cored and cut into florets
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
coarse salt and ground pepper
½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, heavy cream, flour, and ¾ cup grated Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake 30 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup grated Parmesan and 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 to 15 more minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.


Lots of cauliflower fans in our group. This recipe simplifies one yummy approach to cauliflower that is easy enough for any after-work weekday but lovely enough for weekend guests. Has never failed to please!
