Cauliflower gratin
Cauliflower gratin is a rich and creamy dish that is perfect for a winter dinner party. The dish is made with a white sauce, Gruyere cheese, and bread crumbs. It can be made ahead of time and reheated, making it a perfect dish for entertaining.
The origins of cauliflower gratin are unclear, but it is likely that the dish originated in France. Cauliflower was introduced to France in the 16th century, and it is thought that the dish was created soon after. The dish became popular in the 19th century, and it has been a staple of French cuisine ever since.
Cauliflower gratin is a fairly simple dish to make, but it is important to use fresh ingredients. Cauliflower should be cooked until it is tender, but not mushy. The sauce should be made with a good quality Gruyere cheese, and the bread crumbs should be toasted to add a bit of crunch.
Advice
When making cauliflower gratin, it is important to make sure you prepare the cauliflower properly. First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees and cut the cauliflower into small florets. Boil the florets in salted water for about 8 minutes, or until fork tender. Once boiled, drain the cauliflower and add milk and butter. Layer the cauliflower in a baking dish and top with a mixture of breadcrumbs, butter, and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
