Steps for the cauliflower and sausage gratin
Start by cleaning the cauliflower, breaking it into florets and blanching it in salted water for about 10 minutes, until tender but still firm. Once well drained, transfer the cauliflower to an oiled baking dish sprinkled with breadcrumbs.
Take the sausage, remove the casing and crumble it raw directly over the cauliflower, distributing it evenly. Sprinkle generously with grated cheese and breadcrumbs, then finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Bake at 392°F for about 20-25 minutes, until the sausage is cooked through and the surface is nicely golden and crisp.
The Cauliflower and Sausage Gratin Casserole is ready to be enjoyed.

Storage
The cauliflower and sausage gratin stores well in the refrigerator for about 1-2 days in an airtight container. When ready to eat, I recommend reheating in the oven or in an air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispness to the breadcrumbs and grated cheese. Freezing is not recommended if the cauliflower has been previously blanched, as it would lose its ideal texture.
