How to Make Cauliflower And Ham Gratin

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and lightly golden brown, about 6 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced ham and cook for 2 minutes more.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and milk. Add the shredded Gruyere cheese, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  6. Stir in the cauliflower florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart greased casserole dish.
  8. Sprinkle evenly with bread crumbs and fresh thyme leaves.
  9. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes.
  11. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the topping is golden brown.
  12. Let the gratin rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
