Ingredients:
- 1 cauliflower floret
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup skim milk
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
-
Begin by placing the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket over boiling water.
-
Cover the pan and steam for 5-7 minutes or until the cauliflower is just tender.
-
Drain the cauliflower and rinse it under cold water. Ensure thorough drainage and transfer the cauliflower to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
-
In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 1-1/4 tablespoons of melted butter with flour. Whisk for about 3 minutes or until the mixture becomes bubbly.
-
Gradually whisk in the skim milk, add the bay leaf and nutmeg, and continue whisking until the mixture simmers.
-
Cover the sauce partially and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Don’t forget to discard the bay leaf.
-
Pour the flavorful sauce over the cauliflower in the baking dish and stir until the cauliflower is well coated.
-
The dish can be prepared one day ahead. Simply cover it and chill until ready to bake.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
Sprinkle breadcrumbs generously over the cauliflower, and drizzle with the remaining melted butter.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cauliflower is heated through, the sauce bubbles at the edges, and the breadcrumbs acquire a golden hue.
