Ingredients:
1 teaspoon unsalted butter, plus 4 tablespoons, divided
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
2 large heads of cauliflower, cored and cut into 2-inch florets
¼ cup finely sliced chives, divided
1 ⅓ cups finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (3 ounces)
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (Optional)
3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 ½ teaspoons caraway seeds
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 3-quart broiler-safe casserole dish with 1 teaspoon butter.
Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. When the foaming subsides, reduce heat to medium; add garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add flour, whisk to combine, and cook, stirring constantly, until no flour smell remains, 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk, whisking between additions, until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a lively simmer. Cook, whisking, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add cauliflower, 3 tablespoons chives, and cayenne (if using), folding to combine. Transfer to the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake until the cauliflower is tender and beginning to brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven.
Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat the broiler to high.
Combine cheese, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, caraway seeds and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Sprinkle on the casserole. Broil until the cheese is melted and the top is golden about 2 minutes. Serve topped with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000-calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
