Cauliflower Au Gratin

 

Cauliflower Au Gratin

Susan Dopart
Cauliflower is the popular girl in the low carb gluten free world but why settle for just boiled, mashed or roasted? This recipe is super easy both with cooking and assembly. It has a little crunch and you can change the flavorings as desired. Gluten-free low carb and a nice holiday splurge!

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 3250F.
  • Steam cauliflower for 8-10 minutes or microwave until tender.
  • Combine cauliflower and remaining ingredients except for the Pecorino cheese in blender or food processor and pulse until desired consistency (creamy or crunchier).
