"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 tbsp. butter
2 garlic cloves minced (jarred garlic ok)
2 tbsp. flour
1 1/2 c. whole milk
1 1/2 c. cheddar grated
3/4 tsp. salt

1/4 c. breadcrumbs
Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450º

2. Fill a medium pot with 1 or 2 inches of water, place a mesh steamer basket inside, and set it over high heat. As soon as the water starts boiling, turn it to low, add cauliflower to the basket, and cover with a lid. Steam until it can be easily pierced with a fork, 5-10 minutes. Spread into one even layer in the bottom of an ungreased 8X8 or 9X9 (or oval) baking dish.

3. In a large saucepan over the medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute or two.

4. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until the mixture begins to darken in color (but not burn). Whisk in the milk and cook, stirring, until the mixture begins to boil. Lower the heat to a light simmer and cook until the milk thickens, whisking occasionally.

5. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese and spices. Pour over the top of the cauliflower until well coated. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and bake until golden brown on top and bubbly, about 25-30 minutes. Serve warm.
