This Horseradish Cauliflower Au Gratin is smooth and creamy with the perfect amount of kick! It’s the perfect side for your Thanksgiving table!

Horseradish Cauliflower Au Gratin

Good Monday morning friends! How was everyone’s weekend? I spent the earlier part of my weekend before the rain, wind and flooding from Hurricane Joaquin putting up my fall/Halloween decorations. Are you guys Halloween fans? I love Halloween! I love seeing all the kids in their costumes, and I love giving out the candy on Halloween night. This weekend I had such fun going into town to get my pumpkins, cornstalks, and hay bales and start decorating the house.

Horseradish Cauliflower Au Gratin

While I was out gathering up my fall decorations I noticed there are already Christmas cards and decorations in some of the stores! I love Christmas as much as the next guy, but I still need to focus on Halloween and Thanksgiving before I start trimming any trees for gosh sakes! Since Thanksgiving is the biggest food holiday of the year, I usually start thinking about special dishes I’ll be serving right around the beginning to mid-October. I always have the usual favorites, but I usually try to change up the vegetable side dishes every year.

Horseradish Cauliflower Au GratinHorseradish Cauliflower Au Gratin

Today I’m sharing my Horseradish Cauliflower Au Gratin which will be served this year at our Thanksgiving table. I really love cauliflower, and this recipe is my favorite way to prepare it. The sauce is smooth and creamy with some parmesan cheese, garlic and the perfect amount of horseradish to give it some wonderful flavor, and a little kick. I also like to top it with some Italian panko bread crumbs for added flavor. Cauliflower is rich in vitamin C, calcium, and potassium, so it not only tastes delicious, but it’s good for you. So plan ahead and give this one a go over the next few weeks, and hopefully it gets a spot at your Thanksgiving table too! Have a great week friends!

    I really like the idea of horseradish in your au gratin cauliflower dish. There is nothing like adding a little something special to a traditional dish. Glad I stopped by for a visit. :)

    This looks so great! I love cauliflower and I’m always looking for new ways to serve it so I’m planning on trying this soon. Horseradish sounds like it will give it a nice mustard-y flavor! Not much Halloween traffic in my neck of the woods – no side walks – so I don’t get too many kids stopping by.

    It looks delicious , I like the addition of the horseradish . Do you think it would go with duck confit legs and duck breast instead of polenta? I would add potatoes fried in duck fat. It’s for a dinner I’m planing this Friday.

      I think it would work really well Gerlinde! I saw a honey-roasted duck online by Curtis Stone that was served with a creamed cauliflower. Sounds delicious to me! Hope you enjoy it!

        We had steak instead of duck and your cauliflower gratin was a huge hit. I will make it again.

    Hi Mary Ann,
    I realize it took a minute for me to try this recipe, but it’s great. I made it for dinner tonight. It’s been a grey,drizzly day in Seattle so warm dishes sounded good. It didn’t disappoint. Your cauliflower will definitely make more appearances on my table. Thank you so much for your ideas and wonderful recipes. Also, congratulations on the one year anniversary of your blog. I know it must be a huge amount of work, but believe me, your followers appreciate it!!! Thank you.
