I love anything with gruyere and can't wait to try this dish!! From Cooking Light 11/08.... Gruyère's nutty, earthy flavor is a nice match for subtle cauliflower, and crisp breadcrumbs add texture. Substitute broccoli for the cauliflower, if you prefer. You can prepare all the elements for the dish a day ahead, if necessary. Refrigerate the sauce, the cauliflower, and the breadcrumb mixture separately, and simply assemble before baking. Ingredients:
1 medium head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets (about 2 pounds) |
cooking spray |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided |
2 teaspoons butter |
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs (japanese breadcrumbs) |
1/2 cup shredded gruyere cheese, divided |
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives |
1/2 cup finely chopped onion |
1 garlic clove, minced |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 cups 2% low-fat milk |
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Place cauliflower in a 2-quart broiler-safe baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray; coat cauliflower with cooking spray.
3. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss.
4. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes or until almost tender.
5. Cool 5 minutes.
6. Preheat broiler.
7. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
8. Remove from heat & stir in panko & 1/4 cup cheese and chives.
9. Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat & coat with cooking spray.

11. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute, stirring constantly.
