Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Préchauffer le four

    Allume le four à 180°C (thermostat 6).

  2. Découper le chou-fleur

    Lave le chou-fleur, retire les feuilles et coupe-le en petits bouquets. Épluche légèrement les tiges si nécessaire.

  3. Cuire le chou-fleur

    Fais bouillir les bouquets de chou-fleur dans la casserole d'eau salée pendant 10 min. Égoutte bien et réserve.

    Tip · Pour éviter que l'eau ne déborde, utilise une casserole assez grande et ne remplis-la qu'aux trois quarts.

  4. Préparer la béchamel

    Dans la même casserole, fais fondre la moitié du beurre (10 g) à feu moyen. Ajoute la farine et mélange 1 min pour former un roux. Verse le lait petit à petit en fouettant pour éviter les grumeaux. Laisse épaissir 5 min à feu doux. Sale et poivre.

  5. Découper le jambon

    À l'aide du couteau, coupe le jambon en dés ou en lamelles fines.

  6. Assembler le gratin

    Dans le plat à gratin, dispose les bouquets de chou-fleur égouttés. Ajoute les dés de jambon. Verse la béchamel par-dessus en répartissant bien.

  7. Recouvrir de fromage

    Saupoudre le reste du fromage râpé (25 g) sur le dessus du gratin.

    Tip · Si le gratin n'est pas assez doré après 15 min, laisse-le encore 2-3 min sous le grill du four.

  8. Enfourner le gratin

    Place le plat à gratin dans le four préchauffé et laisse cuire 15 min jusqu'à ce que le dessus soit bien gratiné et doré.
