Cauliflower Gratin
Cauliflower Gratin
Caulifower gratin is a great side dish to substitute for starchy potatoes gratin. The cauliflower gets steamed, then mixed into a cheesy cream sauce. It is topped off by a mix of breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and parsley; then baked for 25 minutes. This dish is so tasty, you’ll consider this the main course over the protein you serve it with.
