Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes, and then set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cream cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Flake the smoked haddock into bite-sized pieces, being careful to remove any bones.
Layer half of the cauliflower florets in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the flaked haddock over the cauliflower.
Pour half of the cream sauce evenly over the first layer of cauliflower and haddock.
Repeat the layering with the remaining cauliflower, haddock, and cream sauce.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Ensure your smoked haddock is of good quality for the best flavor.You can substitute cheddar with Gruyère for a more traditional gratin taste.For a crustier top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.This dish can be prepped ahead and refrigerated before baking for a convenient make-ahead meal.
