Cauliflower-Cheese Gratin
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
The cheese-cauliflower gratin is not only a good low-carb alternative to the potato gratin, but also convinces with good ingredients all along the line: as a type of cabbage, cauliflower is comparably easy to digest and does not burden the digestion too much. The vegetables also contain the immune booster vitamin C and the secondary plant substance sulforaphane, which can be effective against cancer.
Those who like it milder in taste can swap the mountain cheese for young Gouda or Mozzarella. For even more seasoning, blue cheese is also recommended, for example gorgonzola.
