Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese divided, freshly grated
- 1 cauliflower cut into florets, head
- 3 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 shallot diced, large
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons thyme chopped fresh leaves
- 1 ½ cups milk whole
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 3 thyme sprigs, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, Panko and 1/4 cup Parmesan; set aside.
- Place cauliflower in a steamer basket and set over boiling water. Cover and steam until crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes; drain well.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Whisk in flour and thyme until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, heavy cream and Dijon. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated and slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Stir in cauliflower, mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan until the cheeses have melted, about 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with Panko mixture.
- Place into oven and bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 20-25 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with thyme, if desired.
Notes
- *Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.
