    Tasted like scrambled eggs. Not a hit with the family.

    I was disappointed with this recipe. A cauliflower/broccoli gratin is a firm favourite in our house and I thought this might be a change from the usual béchamel sauce and cheese. I made a half recipe - which was still a lot - so that may have affected things, but it seemed very "eggy". Don't think I will make it again. Might keep the idea of adding bacon though.

    As the others said, it's ok. All the flavour comes from the bacon though, so the dish needs a good quality one and lots of it.

    Breadcrumbs is right, I think. A heavy hand with the salt, the pepper and the nutmeg are most helpful. Also, "cauliflower gratin". Starts with cauliflower. Sounds healthy, yes? Not so much. Quiche in disguise, because, really, it's a dinner of cream, eggs and bacon with a smattering of cauliflower to give it a faint whiff of respectability. Still, absolutely worth playing with. Reasonably idiot-proof, and I thought it was yummy!

    This s better than ina's version since it uses a custard instead of a béchamel. It looks better and tastes better.

    p. 362 - Maybe my expectations were set a bit too high for this dish. I loved the idea of it, certainly all the individual ingredients appeal and, in terms of presentation, without a doubt it’s a lovely looking dish. All that said, I liked but didn’t love this dish. K proclaimed this a hit. Not that the cream, bacon and cheese might have had anything to do w that! I followed the recipe as set out in the book and made no modifications at all. In hindsight I’m wondering if I might have preferred it w some onions or scallions. It did seem to liven up w a sprinkling of salt at the table. Not sure I’d make this again.
