GRATIN OF CAULIFLOWER WITH GRUYERE



Gratin of Cauliflower With Gruyere image

I love anything with gruyere and can't wait to try this dish!! From Cooking Light 11/08...."Gruyère's nutty, earthy flavor is a nice match for subtle cauliflower, and crisp breadcrumbs add texture. Substitute broccoli for the cauliflower, if you prefer. You can prepare all the elements for the dish a day ahead, if necessary. Refrigerate the sauce, the cauliflower, and the breadcrumb mixture separately, and simply assemble before baking."

CAULIFLOWER GRATIN



Cauliflower Gratin image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups milk
1/4 small onion, studded with 1 clove
1 small bay leaf
1 small sprig fresh thyme
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch florets (about 7 1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 generous cup finely grated Gruyere cheese (about 3 ounces)
1 teaspoon Cognac or brandy
Pinch of cayenne
4 gratings of fresh nutmeg
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Butter a 1 1/2 quart gratin dish and set it aside.
  • Make the sauce. In medium sauce pan, heat the milk with the onion, bay leaf, and thyme to just below the boiling point. Set aside. In another medium pan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat, and then sift in the flour. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon in a figure-8 motion, until it lightens in color, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
  • Gradually whisk the milk mixture into the flour mixture. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, whisking to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, whisking occasionally, until the sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • While the sauce simmers, bring a medium pot of water to a boil, season with salt, and add the cauliflower. Cook until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Arrange the cauliflower, florets-side up, in the buttered gratin dish.
  • Strain the sauce and season it with a teaspoon salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne to taste. Whisk in the cheese, 1 tablespoon of the butter, and the Cognac until smooth, taking care not to over mix. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. In a medium bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the butter to coat evenly. Sprinkle the top of the cauliflower with the buttered breadcrumbs. Bake until the top of the cauliflower gratin is golden brown and bubbly, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot.

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER AND GRUYERE GRATIN



Creamy Cauliflower and Gruyere Gratin image

I got this from a local farmer up in MI years ago, Bills Fruit Stand. Really, just a road side summer stand. She, the wife had some recipes written on small index cards they handed out. She didn't add the parmesan, she added cheddar and I thought it didn't work well for my taste, so I tried a few others and came up with gruyere which I love with this. Swiss will work just fine too. My addition is fresh bread crumbs as well. She had a different recipe every week and they were always very fresh and good. I wish I kept more of them. Well this is a great side dish served with some grilled pork chops, or a roasted chicken is perfect for me. Add some baked or roasted sweet potatoes and it makes for a very comforting dinner.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 heads cauliflower (cut the stems off and reserve for the sauce. The heads or tips are to be used in the casserole)
2 cups heavy cream
2 shallots, fine chopped
1 cup gruyere, shredded (swiss will work just fine for this)
1 tablespoon Grey Poupon
1 1/2 tablespoons horseradish sauce
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup fresh breadcrumb (about 2 slices of fresh bread)
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon dried parsley

Steps:

  • Cauliflower -- Prepare your cauliflower, cut off the steams and rough chop the heads. Add the chopped cauliflower to a large bowl and set to the side.
  • Vegetables -- To a medium pot, add the butter and melt on medium heat. Add the shallots and cauliflower stems chopped and cook just 4-5 minutes until slightly soft. Then to that, add the cream, grey poupon, horseradish sauce, salt, pepper, rosemary and nutmeg and bring to medium heat and cook until the cauliflower is soft. Should take about 5-8 minutes on a slow boil or simmer.
  • Transfer to a blender or if you want you can use an immersion blender for this. Blend until smooth and well combined and the cauliflower stems are pureed.
  • Add the cream sauce to the cauliflower and combine well.
  • Topping -- Add the melted butter to the bread crumbs in a small bowl and mix well with 1 teaspoon dried parsley.
  • Baking -- In a 13x9" casserole or baking dish sprayed with pam or lightly greased add the cauliflower mixture and top with the grated cheese, and then top with the bread crumb mixture. Bake 400 for 20-30 minutes on the middle rack uncovered. Enjoy!
