Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 dash salt
1 cup milk
1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
5 tablespoons butter, cut into thin slices

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Mix in flour and bring to a boil. Add pepper and salt as mixture starts to thicken. Slowly add milk and stir; return to a boil and remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, 3 to 6 minutes.
  • Transfer cauliflower to an ungreased baking dish. Pour sauce over cauliflower. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top and lay butter slices over bread crumbs.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until golden brown on top and heated through, about 30 minutes.
