Cauliflower Ham Gratin

"A comfort dish that’s also bursting with health benefits – that's cauliflower gratin for you. This recipe calls for a double dose of cheese to give it that melty, cheesy texture as well as cream and Greek yogurt in place of milk for a truly ketogenic dish. While it’s good on its own as a lunch or dinner meal, it can also double as a side dish. Cook the cauliflower florets until they are just beginning to become tender. Don’t worry if they’re a bit al dente, they will continue to cook in the oven. Alternatively, you can steam the florets or even microwave them."

NotesHealth Benefits:
Despite its bland appearance, cauliflower is one of the most powerful antioxidant foods there is. According to some studies, microwaving and steaming are two cooking methods that preserve most of the antioxidants in this popular keto veggie. Besides the antioxidant power of cauliflower, this dairy-heavy dish will also boost your intake of calcium and vitamin D, both of which you need to maintain strong bones.
