Wonderful cauliflower casserole straight from France :)). This recipe introduces us to another dish of French cuisine. In general, gratin is the same casserole familiar to us from childhood, but with its own nuances in the recipe. This dish is filled with a special sauce and sprinkled with breadcrumbs or grated cheese, or sometimes a mixture of both. The good thing about the recipe is that it doesn’t take much time, it’s easy to prepare, and it also allows us to replenish our personal piggy bank with a new dish from such a low-budget, vitamin-packed, healthy, low-calorie vegetable as cauliflower. I know that not everyone loves it, which is why I want to emphasize that in this recipe, thanks to the aromatic filling with garlic, nutmeg and the presence of cheese in the dish, this vegetable acquires new taste qualities for everyone. It becomes very pleasant to the taste, and the cream in the sauce and milk, mixed in equal proportions with water for cooking this vegetable, also do their job - the cauliflower becomes very tender. Try it yourself and you will see for yourself. I wish you success with your cabbage gratin!

STEP 1
Ingredients for making Cauliflower Gratin.
STEP 2
First, we separate the cabbage into inflorescences.
STEP 3
Mix milk and water in equal proportions.
STEP 4
Pour the milk mixture into the pan and put it on the fire.
STEP 5
At this time, grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
STEP 6
Prepare the gratin sauce: mix half the cheese with cream, garlic, salt and spices.
STEP 7
Grease the bottom of the mold or baking sheet with butter.
STEP 8
When the milk mixture boils, add the cabbage there. The milk mixture should cover the inflorescences. Cook the cabbage for about 10 minutes, if the inflorescences are small, if large - 15-20. Drain the liquid from the pan. Place the cabbage in a colander and let the excess liquid drain.
STEP 9
Then place the cabbage inflorescences in the mold.
STEP 10
Coat or pour (if the sauce is liquid) the cabbage with a mixture of cream, garlic and spices. Place our casserole for 10 minutes in the oven preheated to 200 degrees.
STEP 11
Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle the cabbage with the remaining cheese and put it back for another 5 minutes (preferably in grill mode, then a fragrant cheese crust will form on the surface of the dish). By the way, you can sprinkle the dish with breadcrumbs (I didn’t do this). As a result, we get the most delicate dish - cabbage gratin with a milky-creamy taste and aroma. Bon appetit!

This is something I definitely have to try! I boiled ordinary white cabbage in milk as a filling for pies. A win-win. And cauliflower, which I love no less, fell out of the diet because... the only digestible option for cooking it was to fry it in breadcrumbs, which turned out to be completely impossible after I started monitoring my waist circumference and counting calories. I will, of course, play with cream, cheese and butter, but otherwise, I’m just sure this dish will add variety to my table. I think that my family won’t mind either. And they already promised me wine this weekend... Thank you, Mom of the Sweet Tooth, for the recipe.

Thanks for your feedback! I'm very glad that you liked this dish! It is tender, tasty, the sauce is especially good, it does not have a strong garlic smell, which I really like, although there is a lot of it there. And there are not many widely known dishes made from cauliflower, which is a pity... After all, it is a very healthy vegetable. We will fix this.

I love cauliflower, but I haven’t made many dishes from it, so I’m correcting myself. This was the case when I had all the ingredients indicated in this recipe, so I happily started cooking. There are no complications, everything is simple and clear, and most importantly, fast. I didn’t improvise, except to sprinkle a little breadcrumbs on it. Before I even had time to take it out of the oven, there was already a line with plates, so the photo was from the category of “photographed before we ate it.” We really liked it: tender cabbage with a creamy taste and an unobtrusive taste of cheese, you can’t feel the garlic at all, so you don’t have to be afraid to add it . Of course, I would add a little basil, but at this rate I’ll soon be adding it to tea. Thanks for the great recipe!)
