A delightful twist on a classic vegetable dish, this Cheesy Baked Cauliflower Gratin is creamy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender but still firm.
Steaming the cauliflower ensures it retains its nutrients and a slight crunch.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and whisk in the flour to form a roux.
Whisk continuously to avoid lumps in the roux.
Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly until smooth and thickened.
Warm the milk slightly before adding to the roux for a smoother sauce.
Stir in the nutmeg, Dijon mustard, and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
Add the cheese gradually to ensure it melts evenly.
Pour the cheese sauce over the steamed cauliflower in a baking dish.
Ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated with the sauce.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top and drizzle with melted butter.
Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F until golden and bubbly.
Place the dish on the middle rack for even baking.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Cheesy Baked Cauliflower Gratin.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
