avon the strip gruyere mac and cheese noodles

My folks love this and call it cauliflower crack. Also to save cleaning I nuke butter in measuring cup and toss in breadcrumbs. I mix gruyere and cheddar, I add horseradish and Dijon to cream sauce off heat and sub Panko for saltines. Sorry to purists but changed it up a bit over that time. Step 6īake gratin in middle of oven until topping is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over cauliflower. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan, then remove from heat and stir in horseradish. Step 4Ĭoarsely crumble crackers into a bowl. Pour cheese sauce over cauliflower and stir gently to combine.

Remove from heat and add cheese, scallion greens, salt, and pepper, whisking until cheese is melted. Reduce heat and simmer sauce, whisking occasionally, 8 minutes.

Add milk in a slow stream, whisking, and bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Cook roux over low heat, whisking, 3 minutes. While cauliflower is cooking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat and whisk in flour. Drain cauliflower well in a colander and transfer to a buttered 2-quart baking dish. Cook cauliflower in a 5- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
