- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets (about 6 cups)
Dairy
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Prepare the cauliflower: Wash and cut the cauliflower into florets. Steam or boil them until just tender, about 5-7 minutes, then drain and set aside.

- Transfer to baking dish: Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake until bubbly and golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is bubbly, golden, and the casserole is set.
- Cool and serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set further for easier slicing.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
- Adding herbs like thyme or paprika can enhance the flavor.
- This casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure cheese and cream have no additives containing gluten.
