Step 8
Scrape the mixture into the buttered gratin dish. Spread the rest of the goat cheese and parmesan cheese over it.
Step 9
Place the gratin dish over a cookie sheet (for spillage) and bake until the cauliflower is tender and the top bobbly and golden brown. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
