Set aside.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

In a saucepan, pour 2 tablespoons of cold water, then 1 litre whole milk (the water will prevent the bottom of the pan from blackening).

Stage 11 - 3 min.

Add 250 ml liquid cream.

Stage 12 - 5 min.
Gratin with Parmesan flavours
Sprinkle over 50 g grated cheese (Comté cheese, for example, for a nice color).

Stage 13
Gratin with Parmesan flavours
Tip: The Parmesan crumbles can be cut into sticks for grilling with the gratin, and served as an aperitif.

Stage 14 - 30 min.
Gratin with Parmesan flavours
Bake at 200°C (390°F) for approximately 30 minutes.
Remarks
Once the gratin is in the oven, I recommend that you set aside the cooking milk, discarding the croutes, garlic and sage, for use later in another recipe, such as a béchamel sauce.

If you don't have any Parmesan croutes, add 50g of grated Parmesan to the potato and cauliflower mixture in step 9.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.
