Ingredients
- 2 cups milk whole
- 3 bay leaf
- 2 prigs thyme plus more to finish
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 ounces butter unsalted
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 ounces Brie cheese rind removed
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated
- 2-3 pounds cauliflower cut into florets
- salt Kosher salt and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper Kosher salt and freshly cracked, to taste
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- 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.
- 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
- This is the perfect low-carb side dish when you don't want to use potatoes. Try using gluten-free breadcrumbs as well.
