Cauliflower Au Gratin

Cauliflower Au Gratin is a baked creamy dish cooked with white sauce, two types of cheeses to make it more creamy and delicious for a warm winter night.

I was planning on making it over the weekend and ended up making it much later than I planned. Weekends seem to be so rushed, never enough time to do how I plan. With weekdays becoming next to impossible to do my blog cooking, weekends seem to end up the same as well. I somehow managed to bake a huge batch of cookies that as expected, got over before the Monday began. The basic idea was to bake cookies at home so that I don’t resort to store bought cookies.

Hubby Dear was saying I should be planning on making these things rather than buying. It was a hint at both being a food blogger plus having enough to blog about. Anyway, that’s for another post.

Today’s Cauliflower Au Gratin is from French cuisine, that I heavily adapted to my taste by adding red chili flakes. My plan was to have this on Sunday, however, it now becomes my bakethon post as well. Initially, I had an idea to microwave this dish, since it had to be part of Bakeathon, I ended up baking it. The dish came about very quickly because I had made white sauce and onion powder along with garlic powder. This can be done in flat 5 minutes if you were using the microwave for it.

We are starting the BM#83, Week 2, with me making some dishes for Christmas at home. Au Gratins are popular casseroles or warm winter meals made for Christmas dinners. So I decided to have this on the menu!
