Simple and healthy cauliflower can become a truly delicious side dish when prepared as a gratin—a casserole with a tender filling and a crispy crust of melted cheese and breadcrumbs. The sauce and cheese play a crucial role in this dish. After all, neutral cauliflower needs a richer flavor while maintaining its creaminess. To achieve this, combine heavy cream with a little mustard powder. Choose a more mature cheese with a piquant, distinct flavor, such as Gruyère. Assemble the gratin and bake in the oven until crisp. You'll be delighted with the new taste of cauliflower.

Ingredients:

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 tsp dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon of salt
