Servings 6
Calories 310kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 small head cauliflower about 1.5 lbs
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup nonfat milk
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 2 Tbs flour
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 bunch rainbow chard chopped
  • 2 cups cooked ham diced
  • 6 ounces shredded gruyere
  • 1 ounce shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Separate the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Add to the boiling water; cook for 5 minutes or until just tender. Drain.
  • While the cauliflower cooks, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes or until light golden brown. Whisk in the milk, stock and mustard. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg. Slowly stir in half the gruyere.
  • Add the cauliflower, chard, and ham to a 9-inch casserole dish. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and top with remaining cheeses. Sprinkle breadcrumbs in a thin layer over the top.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. Broil for 5 minutes to help the breadcrumbs crisp. Let sit at least 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serves 6.
