Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
  2. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the cauliflower florets for 5-6 minutes, until tender but still firm to the touch. Drain.

  3. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes. Pour the hot milk into this mixture and stir until it begins to boil. Cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute, until the mixture thickens. Turn off the heat, add 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, nutmeg, 1/2 cup of Gruyere cheese, and Parmesan.

    Pour 1/3 of the sauce into the bottom of a 20x28x5 cm baking dish. Place the strained cauliflower on top, and pour the remaining sauce evenly over the cauliflower.
  4. Mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining 1/4 cup Gruyere cheese and sprinkle the mixture over the top of the casserole. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 g) butter and drizzle it over the gratin. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve hot or at room temperature.
