Equipment

  • Pot
  • Baking tray
  • Saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 3 slices ham
  • 3 slices cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • nutmeg to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook the head of cauliflower in a pot of boiling water for about 15 minutes or until tender.
  • Cut the red onion and green bell pepper into strips. Place a slice of cheese on a slice of ham, roll it up, and cut the roll in half widthwise. Repeat with the other 2 slices of ham and cheese.
  • Place the cooked head of cauliflower on a baking tray. Slightly pull the florets apart and fill the spaces with the red onion strips, green bell pepper strips, and ham & cheese rolls, making sure to distribute the fillings evenly.
  • For the bechamel sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and stir in the flour with a whisk. Add the milk, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and let the sauce thicken.
  • Pour the bechamel sauce over the stuffed cauliflower and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Transfer the baking tray to a preheated oven and cook at 350°F for 20 minutes.
