Cut the cauliflower into florets.

Boil water in a large pot and add the cauliflower. Cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Drain the cauliflower and set aside.

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Gradually whisk in milk, cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Add grated fresh mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce. Stir until cheese melts.

Combine the cauliflower with the cheese sauce, mixing well.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle with parmesan cheese for the crust.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly.
