I love cauliflower and this is one of my favorite recipes. I have been making it for years. The horseradish makes it special. I always add the full 2 tablespoons.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets and stems reserved
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried chopped chives
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
½ cup shredded Gruyere cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Chop cauliflower stems into small pieces. Measure out 1/2 cup of cauliflower florets and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and cook uncovered until crisp tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain. Toss with Parmesan cheese and chives.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a skillet over low heat. Add reserved stems and chopped florets, shallot, and garlic; cook and stir until tender but not brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until broth evaporates completely, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Pour 1 cup heavy cream into the skillet and puree mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in horseradish, salt, and black pepper. Transfer to a baking dish and add blanched florets; toss to coat evenly with cream mixture. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons heavy cream and top with Gruyere cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
