Ingredients for Creamy Cauliflower and Sausage

1.32 lbs Cauliflower
10.6 oz sausages
to taste Breadcrumbs (I used a gluten-free one)
2.1 cups milk
0.7 oz Grated cheese
to taste Nutmeg
1.8 oz rice flour (or whatever you prefer)
to taste salt

Tools

1 Baking Dish 10 inches

Steps

Cut the cauliflower into florets and cook it in salted water until al dente (about 10-15 minutes). Once cooked, drain well.
In a pot, bring the milk almost to a boil. Add the salt and nutmeg.
Using a whisk, slowly add the flour gradually, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Once the béchamel is thick, remove the pot from the heat and add the Grated Cheese, stirring well to melt it.
Oil (or butter) the baking dish and sprinkle the walls and bottom with breadcrumbs.
In a bowl, combine the cauliflower, sausage, and about two-thirds of the béchamel. Mix well.
Spread some béchamel on the bottom of the baking dish and then transfer the mixture.
Pour the remaining béchamel over everything.
Sprinkle with grated cheese and breadcrumbs.
Bake at 392°F for 20-25 minutes until a nice golden crust forms.
Let rest a few minutes before serving.
