Cauliflower gratin with stracchino is a tasty and flavorful side dish that you can serve with a meat dish. Like many winter vegetable recipes, it is gratinated but instead of béchamel sauce, I used stracchino cheese.
I cooked this dish in an air fryer, but if you prefer, you can also do it in the oven!

How to Prepare Cauliflower Gratin with Stracchino
First, boil the cauliflower in salted water until it becomes slightly tender, then drain it.
Once cooled, cut it into slices or florets and place them in a baking pan.
Put the stracchino cheese in a bowl, add the milk and stir to obtain a cream. Add nutmeg, pepper, and mix everything.
Lightly salt the cauliflower, cover it with the stracchino cream, and gratinate it in an air fryer for 10 minutes at 374°F, or in the oven for 18 minutes at 392°F.
Once cooked, wait a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
You can store the cauliflower gratin with stracchino in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
I sliced the cauliflower because I liked it that way, but you can simply divide it into florets, the cooking won’t change.
