Time 1h15m

Yield Makes 6 individual custards

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into small florets (about 8 cups)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons coarsely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 cups finely grated Gruyere (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss cauliflower with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast, turning once, until golden and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add milk, whisking until mixture just comes to a simmer. Gently simmer, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened slightly, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano, nutmeg, and 1/2 cup Gruyere. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide cauliflower among six 8-ounce gratin dishes. Pour cream mixture over vegetables. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Gruyere.
  • Place gratin dishes on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until bubbly and golden brown in spots, 23 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who had this problem, but my custard didn't set properly. I think I might have used the wrong type of milk.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my custard turned out lumpy. I think I might have overcooked it.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The cauliflower was cooked perfectly and the custard was flavorful. However, I think it could have been improved with a few minor changes.

The custard in this recipe was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been a little thinner.

This recipe was a bit bland for me. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a stronger cheese.

This is a great recipe for a healthy and satisfying meal. The cauliflower is a good source of fiber and vitamins, and the custard is a good source of protein and calcium.
