If you’re looking for a tasty side dish, look no further. This Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole is a wonderful and soothing dish that will satisfy even the pickiest eaters. Baked in a creamy sauce with three types of cheese, it’s easy to forget you’re eating a vegetable! Cauliflower is a low-calorie, high-nutrient vegetable, so we like to think we can get away with making such an indulgent sauce. This casserole, baked to boiling perfection, is surely worth every calorie.
The versatility of this dish is one of its best features. Change up the cheese or add a protein like bacon or ham and it will still be wonderful. The recipe may also be easily doubled for a smaller group, but this hearty 913 dish is perfect for a potluck or holiday side dish for the whole family. No one will complain about eating their vegetables when they taste this wonderful. The children have even been known to request seconds!
INGREDIENTS
2 cauliflower heads, sliced into florets
5 eggs
1 pound heavy cream
1.5 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder 12 teaspoon pepper
1 tsp. onion powder
4 teaspoons melted butter
2 cups white cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
12 cup shredded mozzarella
12 cup grated parmesan extra for topping
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 913 baking dish.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the cauliflower for 3-4 minutes, or until soft.
Drain the cauliflower to remove as much moisture as possible before placing it in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, heavy cream, spices, and cheese. Incorporate the melted butter (make sure the butter has cooled before adding it).
Top the cauliflower with the cheese mixture and the remaining 12 cup parmesan.
35-40 minutes, or until the top begins to brown.
Serve hot.
