Cauliflower & Gruyere Bakes image

A recipe found in an old Australian Good Taste magazine. You can use Jarsburg cheese if gruyere is not available. Frozen cauliflower works well for this recipe too. You can use a white onion in place of the leek if they are not available,Use a blended gluten-free flour and crumbs (or leave off the crumbs all-together) to make this gluten-free suitable.

I would have liked it more if the cauliflower had been roasted instead of steamed.

Not a fan. The cauliflower was undercooked and the sauce was bland.

Easy and delicious! I used a mix of sharp and mild cheddar cheese, and it turned out great.

This cauliflower gruyère bake was a hit! The flavors were rich and complex, and the texture was perfect. I loved the crispy breadcrumb topping. Will definitely be making this again.
