Cauliflower Gratin in serving dishI love subbing cauliflower for potato in many recipes. It's much lighter altogether, and packed with essential vitamins. Making them au gratin is one of my new favourite ways to use them. I hope you try this rich and creamy side dish!

One of these is cheese-free here as my father doesn't eat cheese. If you're going to make the whole pound of cauliflower cheesy, use 1 cup of cheese instead of the 1/2 I used here. For the cheesy one, I sprinkled the top with shredded cheese because I enjoy it a bit crispy. If you prefer an all-over creaminess, fold the cheese into the white sauce before you bake it.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Total Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb cauliflower florets
  • 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 Tbsp flour
  • 1 1/2 cup half & half
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 3 Tbsp chopped parsley
ingredients
 

Steps:

  1. Loosely cover the cauliflower in a dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can boil it in a pot of water for 5 minutes, just make sure you drain it completely.
  2. Cauliflower pieces on plate
