You will not be disappointed with this divine cauliflower casserole recipe. It's so easy and delicious!

Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk, half and half or heavy whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup grated Gruyere (divided)
1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese (divided)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup panko (optional)

Here's how to make it:

Put the cauliflower florets into a sauté pan and add about 1/4 of water. Cook until cauliflower is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well.
In the same pan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the milk and bring to a low simmer. Cook, whisking often, until it thickens, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from the heat.
Add half the Gruyere, half the Swiss cheese and all of the Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese is fully incorporated.
Put about 1/4 cup of the sauce on the bottom of a 1.5-quart baking dish. Top with the cauliflower and then the rest of the sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining Gruyere and Swiss cheese.
Sprinkle the top with the panko, if using. Bake in a preheated 375-degree F oven for about 30 minutes.

Yum! Growing up, my grandma always put a homemade cheese sauce on her cauliflower. I thought that was the only way to eat it. :-) Love all three of these cheeses.

I think caul iflower has the most underrated vegetable some people use it as a side dish or a salad but I'm wearing I found a recipe on eating well magazine but potatoes salad with cauliflower and it's roasted potatoes and it's cauliflower roasted and you add all the different condiments with it wondering how you put this together do you initially bake it or you saute the vegetables first and are there some things that need to do to cauliflower first to to ensure that it will be chewable cuz it's great fresh and with carrots and scallions and black olives even regular olives so I'm wondering how you put this together is there any any substitutions thanks

I think you could substitute nut milk for the cream, but it would not be as rich, of course. Gluten-free flour for the regular flour. I love cauliflower as well. I grew up thinking the only way to eat it was with cheese sauce. That's how my grandma made it. Now we eat more mashed cauliflower than potatoes. :-) Rosseyes
