- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2 large heads cauliflower, cored and cut into 2-inch-thick florets
- 1/4 cup chives, finely sliced, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 1/3 cups Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated
- 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2 -Use 1 teaspoon of the butter to grease a broiler-safe casserole dish.
Step 3 -In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt the remaining butter.
Step 4 -Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper to the melted butter and cook, while stirring, until it is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 5 -Add the flour to the garlic-butter and whisk to combine. Cook the seasoned roux, stirring constantly, until the flour smell disappears, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6 -Gradually add the milk to the roux, a little at a time, and whisk after each addition.
Step 7 -Cook the milk mixture, while whisking, until it has thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 8 -Add the cauliflower, 3 tablespoons of the chives, and the cayenne to the sauce mixture and fold to combine.
Step 9 -Pour the cauliflower mixture into the prepared casserole dish and use a spatula to smooth the top.
Step 10 -Bake the cauliflower mixture until the cauliflower is tender and beginning to brown, about 35-40 minutes.
Step 11 -Transfer the casserole dish to a wire rack.
Step 12 -Position an oven rack in the upper third position in the oven, then switch the oven setting to broiler on high heat.
Step 13 -In medium bowl, add the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, the sesame seeds, the poppy seeds, the caraway seeds, the remaining salt, and the remaining pepper and stir to combine.
Step 14 -Sprinkle the cheese mixture over cauliflower mixture.
Step 15 -Place the baking dish in the oven and broil the cauliflower mixture until the cheese has melted and the top is golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 16 -Garnish the cauliflower mixture with the remaining chives and serve.
