- Ready In:
- 1hr
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 1511.82 g cauliflower
- 946.36 ml whole milk
- 4.92 ml salt
- 1.23 ml nutmeg (to 1/2 tsp)
- 59.16 ml cornstarch (to 5 tbsp)
- 2 eggs
- 113.39 g gruyere cheese
- 113.39 g gouda cheese, grated
- 113.39 g pecorino cheese (or Kefalotyri)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix together the three cheeses together. I've found that a regular zip lock bag works best.
- Wash and trim the core and leaves off of the head of cauliflower.
- Cut into medium-sized pieces, and boil in well-salted water for 10 minutes. Drain and set to the side.
- Heat 3 cups of milk over medium-low heat in a saucepan. Mix in the salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Do not let mixture boil.
- Beat together the remaining milk (1 cup), eggs, and cornstarch.
- When the milk mixture (step 5) starts to steam, add in the beaten egg mixture, whisking continuously to avoid a boil.
- Once sauce thickens, remove from head and stir in roughly 2/3 of the mixed cheeses.
- Spread cauliflower across the bottom of a 13"x10" pan. Pour sauce over evenly, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes.

My mom used to make this recipe when I was a kid. It's a really good substitute four potatoes, which are too starchy. I'm gonna make a few adjustments, just because I'm dieting right now... Oh, by the way, It's usually hard to appreciate cauliflower (it's so tastless!) but this dish is adorable, so thanks a bunch! PS: My mom would sometimes substitute cauliflower for mashed chayotes, which also taste like nothing, and the dish was still a success at home (less starch, more nutritious than potato soufle). :D
