Skillet Cauliflower Gratin
YIELD: 4 servings, about 1 cup each
SERVINGS: 4
ACTIVE TIME: 30 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes
Nonfat milk and a bit of sharp cheddar combine to make a rich sauce without all the butter usually found in gratins.
Ingredients
- 4 cups 1-inch cauliflower florets (about ½ large head)
- 1½ cups nonfat milk, divided
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ cup dry breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat
- ¾ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- ½ tsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp. white pepper
Instructions
- Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler.
- Bring cauliflower, 1¼ cups milk, and salt to a boil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine breadcrumbs, ¼ cup cheese and oil in a small bowl. Whisk flour and the remaining ¼ cup milk in another small bowl until smooth; stir the mixture into the pan and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in the remaining ½ cup cheese, chives, mustard, and pepper. Sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture. Broil until the top is crispy and beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
