Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower separated into flowerets, head
- 500 ml béchamel sauce thick, 2 cups
- 75-100 g Parmesan Cheese grated, 3-4 oz, plus more for topping
- butter q.b.
Optional:
- 100 g fontina cheese 4 oz, or Emmenthal, raclette or other meltable cheese, cut into small cubes
- 100 g ham 4 oz cooked, or prosciutto, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Steam the cauliflower flowerets until they are just tender, with still some 'bite' left in them.
- While the cauliflower is steaming, make the béchamel and, when it's done, mix in the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Butter a baking dish large enough to hold all the flowerets very generously. Arrange the cauliflower in the dish, nestling the cubed fontina and/or cooked ham among the flowerets if using. Pour over the béchamel, taking care to cover everything. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and dot with butter.
- Bake in a moderate oven (180C/350F) for a good 20-30 minutes, until the dish is bubbling and the top is nicely browned.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
