Last year I made a cauliflower gratin that was a lot more complicated than this, but I wanted to test out an easier version knowing many of you will be looking for easy sides. This is super simple, all done in the oven so you don't need to dirty extra pots and pans. You can double this in a 9 x 12 baking dish if you want to feed more people. I used light Havarti cheese because I love the taste, but you can use Swiss, cheddar or whatever you wish.
Ingredients
1medium head cauliflower(cut into small florets (about 5 cups))
1/4cuphalf and half cream
1/4tspkosher salt
fresh cracked black pepper(to taste)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place cauliflower florets in a 9 x 9 baking dish.
Whisk half & half, salt, black pepper and nutmeg then pour over the cauliflower.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake until tender, about 40 minutes.
Remove foil, sprinkle with shredded Havarti cheese and breadcrumbs; lightly spray with oil and bake 3 to 5 more minutes.
If you want it a little browned on top you could place it under the broiler for a minute instead.
