Ingredients:
- one head of cauliflower, or a bag of frozen cauliflower
- 8 ounces of a nice cheese, like gruyere -- grated
- 2 ounces (or so) of grated parmesan
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 2 cups of milk (use cream if doing keto)
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp flour (omit if doing keto)
- prep the cauliflower:
-- if fresh, boil for 5 minutes and then drain
-- if frozen, defrost - Put the drained/defrosted cauliflower in a baking dish
- Preheat oven to 375 F
- Regular version:
-- make a roux by cooking the flour in the butter for 2 minutes
stir constantly to keep from burning
-- add the nutmeg
-- pour milk into the roux
-- stir until milk starts to bubble and thicken a little
-- dump in the grated cheese and stir - Keto version:
-- heat up the cream until it is warm enough to melt the cheese
-- add the nutmeg
-- add the cheese to the cream - Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, mixing well
- If desired, top with even more cheese
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly
- Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes to set up
