1 pound cauliflower, cut into florets
Salted water for boiling
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1 3/4 cups half and half
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, divided
1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
Cut the cauliflower into florets.
Cook the cauliflower in salted boiling water for 5-6 minutes until still slightly crunchy but tender.
Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan.
Add 2 tablespoons of flour to create a roux, stirring for about 30 seconds.
Gradually add 1 3/4 cups of half and half, whisking to prevent lumps.
Season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Drain the cauliflower and transfer to a gratin dish.
Season the cauliflower with a little additional salt.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the cauliflower.
Pour the béchamel sauce over the cauliflower.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese.
Broil for about 3 minutes, about 4 inches from the heat source, until golden and bubbly.
