Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Boil the cauliflower in salted water.
Step 2
Heat a deep skillet with vegetable oil, add the flour, and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Then, reduce the heat and gradually add the milk, mixing quickly. At first, it will form dry crumbs; add more milk and stir. Repeat until you achieve a sauce-like consistency similar to sour cream.
Step 3
Keep the skillet on low heat during this time. Then add the sour cream, season with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of nutmeg, remove from heat (the entire sauce preparation takes about 10-15 minutes).
Step 4
Place the boiled cauliflower, separated into florets, in a baking dish (ceramic or glass), pour the sauce over it, sprinkle with a thick layer of grated cheese, and place it in a preheated oven until the cheese melts and acquires a beautiful golden color.
