Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium head cauliflower broken into florets
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour plain flour
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream double cream
- 1½ cup fontina cheese shredded
- ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
- ½ cup fresh Italian leaf parsley chopped
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/Gas 6 and grease a large casserole dish with olive oil.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Par-boil the cauliflower for 3 minutes. Drain and return to the warm pot to let the steam dry some of the moisture from the cauliflower. Gently pat dry to remove any remaining moisture.
- Melt the butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. This removes the raw taste from the flour.
- Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
- Turn off the heat and add fontina. Stir until the cheese is fully melted.
- Place the cauliflower florets in the prepared casserole dish.
- Pour the fontina béchamel all over the cauliflower. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
- Place in oven to bake 20 minutes or until nicely browned and bubbly on top. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
