Preparation
- Serving size:10.20 oz (calculated)1¼ cups (by recipe creator)Notes: sufficient as a main meal
- Temperature: 400 °F
- Break the cauliflower into florets.
- Steam it or microwave it for 5 minutes, stir, then microwave another 5 minutes. The cauliflower should have started to soften, but still have a bit of crunch.
- In a pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the cream, Dijon mustard and minced garlic and cook until the cream starts to bubble up, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat.
- Sprinkle in the xanthan gum (or other thickener of your choice) while whisking continuously to avoid clumping.
- In a small dish, stir together the egg yolk with some of the sauce. Slowly add it to the cream to avoid the yolk from cooking too quickly.
- Continue whisking until the cream has nicely thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Add the Gruyere and half the parmesan. Let sit for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, so that the cheese fully combines with the sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the cooked cauliflower, cooked chicken (shredded or cubed) and diced ham to an oven-safe dish. For 8 servings, you can use a 13 in by 9 in casserole.
- Top with the sauce and gently stir everything together.
- Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan.
- Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the top starts to brown, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- You can store the dish in an airtight container for 3 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. For best results, thaw overnight. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven.
