Hazırlanışı

1. Cut the cauliflower into florets, and cook in a large pot of lightly salted water until just fork tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat and cook the pancetta until crispy, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and set aside. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat, then add the flour and stir until mixed. Slowly start to pour the milk over the flour mixture whisking continuously as you pour. Reduce the heat to low, then add the two cheeses, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Continue to cook, whisking often until the sauce is thickened and the cheese has melted. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pour a little of the sauce into an 8 x 11 inch casserole dish, then arrange the cauliflower and pancetta on top. Pour the remaining sauce over the cauliflower. In a small bowl, mix together the topping ingredients, rubbing the oil into the crumbs with your fingertips. Sprinkle the crumbs over the cauliflower mixture, then bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and bubbly. Serve hot or warm.
