easy “lite” skillet cauliflower gratin
 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 medium head cauliflower cut into 1-inch florets
  • 2½ cups unsweetened almond milk or nonfat milk, (1/2 cup divided out)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dry breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat
  • 1¼ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon chopped scallions
  • 1½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
  1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler.
  2. Bring cauliflower, 2 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.
  3. Meanwhile, combine breadcrumbs, ½ cup cheese and oil in a small bowl. Whisk flour and the remaining ½ 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 ¾ 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.
Notes
Also works well with sliced potatoes.
