Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Low-fat milk (2%)
- 0.75 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
Step 3
Place the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Roast the cauliflower in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden brown on the edges.
Step 5
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the Gruyere cheese sauce. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes, forming a roux. Do not let it brown.
Step 7
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded Gruyere cheese until melted and smooth. Add the Dijon mustard and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
Step 9
Once the cauliflower is done roasting, transfer it to a serving dish.
Step 10
Pour the Gruyere cheese sauce over the roasted cauliflower, making sure it is evenly coated.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy and flavorful dish!
