Cauliflower Au Gratin - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 large cauliflower, steamed till crisp o r tender and broken up into small florets
    white pepper
    1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    1 cup shredded swiss cheese
    1 1/2 cups half-and-half, beaten with
    2 whole eggs
    1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs, lightly fried in
    2 tablespoons butter
Preparation
    Lightly butter a 13 X 9\" pyrex baking dish and put in cauliflower.
    Season lightly with white pepper and sprinkle all the cheeses over.
    Beat the eggs into the half and half (you can also use 1 1/2 cups milk, 2 eggs and 1 tblsp cornflour as a sub). Pour over cauliflower-cheese mixture and top with buttered breadcrumbs.
    Bake in a 375F oven until lightly golden-brown.
    Allow to cool slightly before serving.
    This is also super good at room temperature or cold.
    (Try it for breakfast!) Reheats well, so can be made in advance- just pour a couple of tablespoonfuls of cream (or milk) over for moisture.
