    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1/4 teaspoon roasted garlic
    1/2 teaspoon onion powder

    freshly grated nutmeg (a little more tan two specks (or more)
    2 pinches crushed red pepper flakes, to taste (good sized pinches, lol)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
    Lightly butter a small baking dish.
    Place the cauliflower in a saucepan with enough water to cover.
    Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender but crisp.
    In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and gradually mix in the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder {or roast garlic}, onion powder, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, and milk.
    Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and mix in the Swiss cheese until melted.
    Spread about 1/4 cup of the melted Swiss cheese mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
    Place cauliflower in the dish, and top with the remaining cheese mixture.
    Bake uncovered 20-25 minutes until bubbly.
