Where to find ingredients
Look for cauliflower in the fresh produce section of supermarkets, open-air markets, or neighbourhood grocery stores. Use regular flour, milk, butter, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs from the baking and dairy aisles; if needed, a plain hard grating cheese can be used as a substitute for Parmesan.
Preparation method
- Cook the cauliflower in salted water, without letting it become too soft
- In a bowl, mix the milk, wheat flour and the sieved egg yolks
- Season with salt and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened
- Remove the cream from the heat and stir in the butter and 3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese
- Mix well and set aside
- Arrange the cooked cauliflower in a butter-greased baking dish
- Cover the cauliflower with the prepared cream
- Sprinkle with the remaining grated Parmesan cheese and the breadcrumbs
- Bake in a preheated high oven until gratinated
- Serve directly from the baking dish
