1

Begin by preheating your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).

2

Cut the cauliflower into florets and bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and blanch it for about 5 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks.

4

Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle in the flour and stir for another 2-3 minutes until fully blended.

5

Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to season.

6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched cauliflower and sausage mixture. Gently fold in the cheddar cheese, saving a handful for topping.

7

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and bread crumbs evenly on top.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

9

Once cooked, let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Gratin de Chou-fleur!
