Where to find ingredients
Cauliflower and fresh produce are best sourced from local farmers markets or the vegetable aisle of any neighborhood grocery store. For the best result, use a high-quality Parmesan or a similar hard, aged Italian-style cheese found in the specialty cheese section or deli counter. All-purpose flour, milk, butter, and breadcrumbs are standard pantry staples available at any supermarket. If you are unable to find fresh Parmesan, high-quality pre-grated options are usually available near the dairy or deli departments.
Preparation method
- Boil the cauliflower in salted water until just tender, being careful not to overcook it
- In a bowl, whisk together the milk, all-purpose flour, and the strained egg yolks
- Season with salt and cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens
- Remove the sauce from the heat and fold in the butter and 3 tablespoons of the grated Parmesan cheese
- Mix everything well and set aside
- Arrange the cooked cauliflower florets in a buttered baking dish
- Pour the prepared cream sauce evenly over the cauliflower
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and the breadcrumbs over the top
- Place in a preheated oven set to a high temperature to gratinate until golden brown
- Serve directly from the baking dish while warm
