Ingredients: Low Carb Cauliflower Au Gratin
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 tbsp. butter, plus more for pan
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 c. whole milk
- 2 c. shredded Gruyère, divided
- 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan
- 2 tsp. freshly chopped thyme
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper

Directions: Low Carb Cauliflower Au Gratin
1: Preheat oven to 375° and butter a medium casserole dish. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook cauliflower for 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain, then lay cauliflower out on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to let dry completely.
2: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in flour and cook until flour is golden and starts to bubble, about 1 minute more. Add milk slowly and stir until mixture comes to a simmer. Boil until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
3: Turn off heat and add 1 cup Gruyère, Parmesan, and thyme. Stir until cheese has melted, then season with salt and pepper.
4: Add about half the cauliflower to prepared pan, then pour in half of the cream mixture. Repeat with remaining cauliflower and cream, then top with remaining 1 cup of Gruyère.
5: Bake until bubbly and golden on top, about 25 minutes.
6: Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
