300 g Cauliflower in Small Florets
½ litre Water
½ tsp Coarse salt
150 g Cooked smoked ham
90 g Wheat flour
300 ml Milk
10 g Butter

Additional

2 Slices of Toasted wholemeal rye bread

Instructions

Step 1

Put the cauliflower florets into salted, boiling water and cook for approximately 4 minutes. Drain the cauliflower in a sieve.

Step 2

Cut the ham into small cubes.

Step 3

Put the flour and 150ml of milk in a thick-bottomed pan. Whisk until smooth. Add the rest of the milk and butter and bring to a boil whilst whisking. Cook the mixture well. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 4

Stir in the egg yolks one at a time. Stir well in between. Add salt, pepper, ham and cauliflower florets. Beat the egg whites until very stiff, and fold half into the mixture with a dough scraper.

Step 5

Finally fold the rest of the whites in gently. Pour the mixture into a greased gratin dish (approximately 2 litres). Bake in the middle of the oven. Serve immediately.
