How to make it

- Season with salt and pepper.
- Reserve.
- Preheat oven to 300.
- Combine the milk and heavy cream in a large bowl.
- Whisk in the eggs and egg yolks.
- Using a Microplane, grate the Gruyère into the bowl.
- Add the cauliflower and the leek-celery-garlic mixture.
- Fold in the cubed bread (there should be significantly more cauliflower than bread), and let sit for about 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Mix well to distribute the vegetables evenly.
- Season the pudding with salt, cracked black pepper, Tabasco sauce, lemon juice, and freshly grated nutmeg.
- Spray an 8-by-11-inch Pyrex pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment.
- Spread the pudding evenly into the pan and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake until just set in the center, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil, bake 10 more minutes to lightly brown the top.
