Ingredients
- 1 small cauliflower, split into florets
- 8 teaspoons butter, divided
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 7 ounces (200 grams) spinach
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) heavy cream
- 4 1/2 ounces (125 grams) ball mozzarella, diced or grated
- 1 3/4 ounces (50 grams) Gouda cheese, roughly grated
- Pinch of ground cloves
- Pinch of nutmeg, freshly grated
- Kosher or sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
How to Make
-
Step 1: In a medium sized pan, bring roughly 6 cups (1.5 liters) water to a boil and add salt. Boil the cauliflower florets for 8 minutes until just done, then briefly drain.
-
Step 2: Meanwhile, heat 4 teaspoons butter in a skillet. Saute the onion for 1 or so minutes, until just translucent, then add the spinach and let it wilt before setting the pan aside.
-
Step 3: Preheat oven to 400-degrees F (200-degrees C).
-
Step 4: Blitz the cauliflower in a food processor with the heavy cream and remaining butter, until crumbly. Add it to the skillet, mixing it with the spinach and the next 4 ingredients (mozzarella - nutmeg). Season with salt and pepper.
-
Step 5: Place it in a 8-inch (20-centimeter) square baking dish; place it in the oven and bake in the center of the oven for 20 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown. Remove from the dish and serve on plates.
