Recipe for cauliflower gratin
Gastronomic First Aid???
There’s nothing like taste to trigger memories ?
My favorite dish as a child was gratin, so I took a trip down the gastronomic memory lane yesterday with this cauliflower/cheese gratin.
Ingredients
- 1 pcs. Cauliflower in florets
- 80 gram Butter
- 3 pcs. Egg large
- 24 gram Flour
- 300 gram Milk
- Grated cheese 1 handful - preferably Vesterhavsost or similar
- Nutmeg some
- Grate
- Butter for the dish
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and whisk in the flour until it releases from the bottom.
- Add the milk while whisking so the mixture does not lump.
- Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. Whisk the egg yolks into the mixture and season with grated nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- Fold in the grated cheese and cauliflower florets.
- Whisk the egg whites stiff with a little salt and gently fold them into the mixture.
- Grease an ovenproof dish thoroughly and add breadcrumbs to the bottom and up the sides.
- Distribute the gratin mixture in the dish and top with a generous layer of breadcrumbs.
- Place immediately in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake for about 45 minutes until the gratin is golden and cooked through.
- A good grandmother's trick is to melt a little butter and pour it over 10 minutes before it's done baking, making the surface extra crispy and fragrant like a croissant?
- Serve directly from the oven with a bit of tomato sauce and a green salad on the side.
