Equipment

  • 1 baking dish 8x10 inch recommended
  • 1 oven preheated to 375°F

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower about 4 cups, sliced
  • 2 cups Swiss Gruyere cheese shredded
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray an 8x10 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Slice the cauliflower into thin slices and arrange half of it in an even layer in the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle half of the shredded Gruyere cheese over the cauliflower, then evenly distribute the sliced green onions on top.
  • Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Add the remaining cauliflower in a second layer over the cheese and onions.
  • Pour the heavy cream evenly over the entire dish, then top with the remaining Gruyere cheese.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue baking for another 40 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and the cheese is golden brown.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to thicken.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use Swiss Gruyere for a rich, creamy sauce or substitute with Swiss or sharp cheddar.
  • Adjust cream quantity slightly to control sauce thickness.
  • Using half and half or frozen cauliflower may affect sauce consistency.
  • Best baked in an 8x10 inch dish for ideal texture.
