Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375F (190C).
  • Boil cauliflower florets for 5 minutes, then drain.
  • In a baking dish, combine cauliflower, heavy cream, mozzarella, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
  • Serve warm as a creamy, keto-friendly side dish.

Notes

Chef's Tip: Don't overcook the cauliflower in the boiling step - it finishes cooking in the oven, and starting too soft leads to a mushy gratin. Keto Swap: traditional potato au gratin is replaced with cauliflower florets.
