Cauliflower Gratin with Sharp Cheddar and Parmesan (Low-Carb, Gluten-Free)

Cauliflower Gratin with Sharp Cheddar and Parmesan can be a nice low-carb stand-in for Mac-n-Cheese!

This Cauliflower Gratin with Sharp Cheddar and Parmesan was first posted in 2009, and it's a recipe that has quite a few fans in spite of the not-so-great original photo.  (Scroll down to see that picture and you'll see what I mean!)  So when I noticed those bad photos again recently and had some cauliflower in the fridge, I decided this recipe really needed a make-over.  And it was just as delicious as I had remembered, cheesy and comforting.  There's something so perfect about the combination of cauliflower + cheese; wouldn't you agree?

This recipe is a close cousin to the Broccoli Gratin with Swiss and Parmesan that's also one of my favorites (and something I've made over and over for Thanksgiving.)  Both of them are great as a cheesy side dish, but this time I ate the cauliflower for a low-carb main dish (kind of a mac-n-cheese wanna-be) and thoroughly enjoyed it as a meatless meal with a green salad on the side.
