How to Make Gratin Coliflor Spanish Cauliflower Gratinada

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. **Make the Béchamel Sauce:**
  3. Melt 4 tablespoons (57g) of butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
  4. Whisk in 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour all at once until smooth. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk in 2 cups (475ml) of warm milk until smooth.
  6. Return to medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  7. Wash and cut 1 medium head of cauliflower (about 1.5 lbs) into small florets.
  8. Place half of the cauliflower florets in a small greased baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
  9. Crumble 1 large egg over the cauliflower. Add 1-2 tablespoons of drained, chopped anchovies (optional).
  10. Sprinkle 1/4 cup (15g) chopped fresh parsley over the layer and top with 1/2 cup (60g) grated cheese (e.g., Manchego or Gruyère).
  11. Add the remaining cauliflower florets to the baking dish.
  12. Cover with the remaining cheese and pour the béchamel sauce evenly over the cauliflower.
  13. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons (28g) of butter, cut into small pieces.
  14. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cauliflower is tender.
