Four ingredients to the perfect comfort food: Cauliflower Gratin

Whenever we are looking for cozy and simple comfort food in our house, this is one of our go-to dinners.  With just four ingredients (often already in house), thirty minutes, plus a green salad, we are set!





Cauliflower Gratin

• 1 head cauliflower, cut into large florets keeping much of the stem
• 1 cup heavy cream (comfort food, not diet food)
• 1 cup grated cheese such as cheddar and Parmesan
• 2 tbs. Dijon mustard
• salt and pepper to taste

Pre-heat oven to 425.

Drop the florets into boiling salted water and cook for 4 minutes. Drain and set on a kitchen towel to help them to dry.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream, mustard, 1/2 tsp or more of black pepper and 1 tsp. salt. 

Place the cauliflower into a baking dish and it should fit in one layer with only some overlapping of florets.  Stir in the grated cheese to mix well. Then pour over the cream mixture.

Bake in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes or until the edges are dark brown and the center is bubbling.
