A delightful twist on a classic gratin, combining tender cauliflower with savory ham and a creamy cheese topping.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a gratin dish with butter.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and adds flavor to the edges of the gratin.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender but not mushy. Arrange them in the prepared gratin dish.
Steaming retains the cauliflower's nutrients and ensures a tender texture.
Evenly distribute the ham over the cauliflower in the dish.
Ensure the ham is evenly spread for consistent flavor in every bite.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the cauliflower and ham.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the spices are evenly distributed.
Combine the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in a bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the cauliflower and ham. Dot with butter.
Using panko breadcrumbs adds a delightful crunch to the topping.
Bake the gratin in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Keep an eye on the gratin towards the end to prevent over-browning.
Serve the gratin hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Serving immediately ensures the gratin retains its creamy texture.
