Preparation Steps
1
Cut the cauliflower into florets, wash them thoroughly, then cook them in lightly salted water until tender-crisp. Drain well.
2
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until a light roux forms.
3
Pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously to prevent lumps, and simmer until the sauce thickens.
4
Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Gently fold in the cooked cauliflower, ensuring it's well coated with the sauce.
5
If desired, sprinkle grated cheese on top and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for a few minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
6
Serve hot as a side dish or a light main course.
