Creamed Cauliflower With Herbed Crumb Topping

• 6 (1-ounce) slices sourdough bread
• 10 cup coarsely chopped cauliflower florets (about 2 heads)
• 4 teaspoons butter, divided
• 3 cups chopped leek (about 4 large)
• 6 garlic cloves, minced and divided
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1 cup (4 ounces) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
2. Place bread slices in a food processor, and process until fine crumbs measure 3 cups. Set aside.
3. Cook cauliflower in boiling water 15 minutes or until tender; drain.
4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add leek and 3 garlic cloves; cook 7 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and milk, stirring with a whisk; add to pan. Bring to a simmer; cook 2 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon salt, cheese, and pepper. Remove from heat; stir in cauliflower. Spoon cauliflower mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
5. Melt remaining 1 teaspoon butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add remaining 3 garlic cloves; cook 30 seconds or until lightly browned, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Combine breadcrumbs, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, parsley, and thyme. Drizzle with garlic-butter mixture; toss to combine. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture evenly over cauliflower mixture.
