Step by step recipe

1	Prepare 700 g cauliflower.
2	Boil in salted water until barely cooked (it should still be slightly firm). Use a "spider" or slotted spoon to remove the cauliflower from the pan and drain thoroughly,. Leave the pan on the heat for the broccoli.
3	Prepare 700 g broccoli.
4	Cook in the same water until barely tender (like the cauliflower). Drain thoroughly.
5	Rinse and dry 700 g egg-plant or aubergine and dice.
6	Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil into a frying pan on high heat. When good and hot, add the diced aubergine. Fry until lightly browned, then take off the heat.
7	Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C). Butter a gratin dish and spread the cauliflower and aubergines in an even layer.
8	Add the broccoli, salt lightly, pepper and pour 150 ml liquid cream over.
9	Add 80 g Époisses cut into strips.
10	Top with the grated 50 g Comté cheese.
11	Bake for about 25 minutes until the Comté is nicely browned. Finish browing under the grill briefly if necessary.
