Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips
  • Florets of 1 large head cauliflower, cut into ¼ inch lengthwise slices
  • 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy or whipping cream
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup cup chopped fresh parsley

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté 2 minutes. Stir in the prosciutto and sauté 2 minutes more.
  • Add the cauliflower and cook just until it begins to lose its crispness, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and then the cream. Blend well. Season with the cayenne and salt and pepper to taste. Heat to boiling and immediately remove from the heat.
  • Pour the cauliflower into a shallow au gratin dish. Top with the cheese and parsley. Bake until the top is lightly browned and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
