Steps

45 minutes

1

First, place the cauliflower in the steamer. If it's frozen, put it in directly without thawing, and if it's fresh, wash it, separate the florets, and place them in the steamer. I steam it for about 25 minutes until tender but not falling apart, although the time will depend on your steamer. If you don't have a steamer, boil it in a pot. For frozen, follow the package instructions, and for fresh, add it once the water boils. Check it, and when it's tender, drain it.
2

While the cauliflower is cooking, peel and slice the garlic and cut the onion into thin strips. Then, add a little extra virgin olive oil to a low pot or large skillet to sauté the garlic. Once it colors, add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and sauté over low heat.
3

When the onion becomes translucent, add the bacon. Once the bacon is golden, pour in a splash of wine and any spices you like (herbes de Provence, oregano...), and let it reduce.
4

If the cauliflower is cooked, add it to the pot, mix well but gently, and adjust the salt.
5

Once everything is well mixed, pour in the evaporated milk and let it thicken over low heat.
6

When it has thickened, turn off the heat and transfer it to an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and broil in the oven for about 8 minutes (depending on your oven). Take it out and enjoy!
