This creamy cauliflower gratin is exceedingly delicious and couldn’t be easier to make. The most onerous part of this recipe is cutting the cauliflower florets into pieces small enough to fit in the Suvie pan, but we think that’s a small price to pay for this ooey gooey gratin. The long cooking time breaks down all the vegetables, so there is no need to saute or broil before slow cooking. Simply load everything into a pan and let Suvie handle the rest. To finish, the gratin is topped with extra cheese and panko breadcrumbs before broiling to a golden brown finish – you’d be forgiven for confusing this dish with mac and cheese!

The flavor is spot on. I mixed some leftover steamed cauliflower in which helped improve the texture. Fontina was a good choice for this dish.
