Gluten-Free Cauliflower Gratin Recipe

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still providing flavor.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + powdered milk

Almond milk is lower in calories and suitable for lactose intolerance.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and adds a different flavor profile.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: ground oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Ground oats are a healthier, gluten-free option.

Cut the cauliflower into florets, removing the greens if desired.

Steam the cauliflower florets until just al dente, not mushy.

Caramelize about 3 small shallots in olive oil until sweet.

Layer the caramelized shallots at the bottom of a baking dish.

Place the steamed cauliflower florets on top of the shallots, packing them in tightly.

Grate parmesan cheese and nutmeg over the cauliflower.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1 cup of milk, and about half a teaspoon of salt, mixing until it reaches a heavy cream consistency.

Pour the ricotta mixture over the cauliflower, ensuring it coats the florets.

Layer gluten-free bread crumbs and additional parmesan cheese on top.

Dot the top with a little butter to help the breadcrumbs brown.

Bake in the oven at 375°F for about 30 minutes.
