Equipment

  • 1 9x13 pan
  • 1 pan

Ingredients

  • 3 cup cauliflower florets, about 1 head
  • 5 tbsp parmesan grated
  • 5 tbsp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 3 tbsp parsley
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 360 F. Melt the butter in a saucepan and then add the flour for 2-3 minutes, stirring to get a roux. Pour in the milk, constantly stirring the flour with a spatula until you get a smooth white sauce without lumps. You may need more milk to get the desired consistency. Add salt, spices and mix.
  • Place 1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Top with half the parmesan, half the cheddar and most of the parsley. You can reserve some of the parsley for serving.
  • Add the remaining cauliflower, the remaining cheese and pour the white sauce over the top. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 until the top is lightly browned and the cauliflower is tender.
