Cheddar Gratin Casserole

Sometimes it get's boring eating the same side dishes and vegetables, so I looked on Pinterest for a unique but healthy side dish. I found this recipe and decided why not try it out? It was simple to make and delicious I hope you all enjoy it. I know my friends and I did.

I know this doesn't look like much but this cauliflower gratin
was so delicious. I paired it with a serving of steak and a
sweet potato with cinnamon and honey.

Ingredients

• 3 lb cauliflower, cut into 1½ - 2 inch florets
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1½ cups milk
• 6 oz Sharp Cheddar, grated
• ½ cup finely chopped scallion greens
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1-2 tablespoons seasoned breadcrumbs

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then salt generously. Add the cauliflower and boil until tender, 6-8 minutes. Drain well, then transfer to the prepared baking dish.
3. While the cauliflower is cooking, melt the 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour to the butter and cook, whisking, for 3 minutes. Add the milk in a slow stream, whisking constantly. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese, scallion greens, salt and pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower and stir gently to combine.
4. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top and bake until the topping is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
