Time 1h15m

Yield Makes 6 individual custards

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into small florets (about 8 cups)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons coarsely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 cups finely grated Gruyere (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss cauliflower with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast, turning once, until golden and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add milk, whisking until mixture just comes to a simmer. Gently simmer, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened slightly, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano, nutmeg, and 1/2 cup Gruyere. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide cauliflower among six 8-ounce gratin dishes. Pour cream mixture over vegetables. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Gruyere.
  • Place gratin dishes on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until bubbly and golden brown in spots, 23 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
