Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. In a medium oven proof saucepan, simmer the milk, bay leaves, thyme and garlic over medium heat for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove from heat and remove the bay leaves and thyme with tongs.
  3. In a large saute pan, melt the butter over medium high heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to make a roux. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking until evenly incorporated and starting to thicken. Add chunks of the brie and nutmeg, and continue stirring until the brie is melted.  Carefully nestle in the cauliflower florets and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper, transfer the entire pan into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. After 20 minutes, top with the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese, place back into the oven and continue baking until bubbly and the cauliflower is tender. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • 1: this is made in 1 pot! Brilliant + less dishes
  • It's basically like a mac and cheese but without the pasta. Don't get me wrong - I live for a mac and cheese on my Thanksgiving table, but some people are anti. This is an excellent sub
  • There is brie! So if you buy a lot of brie for cheese boards in the coming weeks, save some for this!
