Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole


CHEESY CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE





This is a quick and healthy meal that can be thrown together quickly on a week night. You will be surprised how tasty this dinner is. This is a favorite meal in our house. 

The secret to this meal is the Gruyere cheese. Tasty Tasty Tasty

STEP ONE: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. 


STEP TWO: Take your head of cauliflower and cut it into bit size florets. 








STEP THREE: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook them for 5 minutes. When it is finished cooking, drain them and set aside. 







STEP FOUR: Take 2 Tablespoons of butter and melt over medium high heat in a medium pot. 

STEP FIVE: When the butter has melted, whisk in 3 Tablespoons of flour. Whisk constantly until combined.













STEP SIX: Whisk in the milk. I used almond milk because that is what I had on hand, but any kind of milk should work just fine. Keep the stovetop on medium high and bring the milk to a boil. Boil for one minute. 







STEP SEVEN: Take the pot off the heat and mix in the Gruyere cheese, dijon mustard, garlic powder and cinnamon. Mix in salt and pepper according to your taste. 


STEP EIGHT: Grease your 9 x 9 pan. Put your cook florets into the bottom of the pan. 



STEP NINE: Pour your cheesy sauce over the florets. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over top. 

Sprinkle pepper over top of the cheese. 













STEP TEN: Bake for 10-12 minutes and Enjoy! 



Ingredients:
1 Head of Cauliflower
2 T butter
3 T flour (*Note: If you cannot have flour- you could omit from the recipe. The cheese you mix in should thicken the sauce up enough!) 
2 Cups Milk (I used almond milk, but any type should work)
1/8 t Cinnamon
1 t Garlic Powder
1 t Dijon Mustard
8 oz of Gruyere Cheese- shredded
4 oz Parmesan Cheese- shredded
Salt and Pepper to taste
