Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole
Cauliflower, or as I call it, The Great Pretender, strikes again, this time standing in for macaroni in this cheesy comfort casserole.

Ingredients
- 5 C cauliflower florets, small
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 1/4 C milk
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 egg
- 2 T flour or gluten-free alternative
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt or more, to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper, ground or more, to taste
- 1 C Parmesan cheese
Servings:
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 390°F.
- Steam the cauliflower florets in a steam basket for 10 minutes. If you don’t have a steam basket, then fill a large pot with water, toss in the florets and bring it to boil. Let it simmer for 10 minutes or until tender. Place 1/2 lemon in the steam basket or in the pot to avoid the bad smell. Drain and transfer the florets into very cold water. Drain and put aside.
- Whisk milk, olive oil and egg. Add in flour, salt and black pepper and whisk until smooth. Fold in 3/4 of parmesan. Toss in the steamed cauliflower florets and coat them well with this sauce. Transfer it into a casserole dish and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven, throw the remaining Parmesan over it and bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese melts and gets golden.
Recipe Notes
Try replacing half (or all) of the Parmesan with another cheese of choice.
