Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, slice it in half, then slice off florets from the stem. Discard the leaves and stem.
2
Peel the potatoes and slice in 1/2 inch cubes.
3
Bring the broth to a boil and add the cauliflower florets and the cubed potatoes. Boil the vegetables until they are tender - about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and strain.
4
Place the vegetables in a food processor and process until smooth. Alternatively you can use a stainless steel food mill to puree the vegetables. Stir in the mascarpone cheese, crushed garlic, egg, pepper and nutmeg until blended.
5
Spread the puree in a greased 1 1/2 to 2 quart baking dish and top with the grated cheese.
6
Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
