Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim the cauliflower and cut it into small florets.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
While the cauliflower is cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and heat until warm, but not boiling.
Stir in the grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg into the cream mixture. Stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Arrange the cooked cauliflower florets in a greased 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking dish.
Pour the cream mixture over the cauliflower, ensuring that it is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over the top of the dish.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Gratin Dauphinois.
