Equipment
- 1 ceramic casserole dish 23cm x 36cm x 6,5cm
Ingredients
- 850 g cauliflower florets 1 large cauliflower head, about 1,2 kg
- 250 g sour cream 12% milk fat
- 200 g heavy cream
- 200 ml milk full fat
- 130 g cheddar cheese grated
- 100 g bread crumbs
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp rosemary dried
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cumin powder
- ⅓ tsp nutmeg powder
- ⅓ tsp ground black pepper
- butter only for coating the ceramic casserole dish
- more breadcrumbs + cheese for topping
Instructions
- Cut the cauliflower head into equal pieces and cook in boiling water. Cook for 10-12 minutes (depending on how big the pieces of cauliflower are) and drain. Take care to not overcook the florets but they also shouldn't be too hard either.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and prepare the ceramic casserole dish by coating it with a thin layer of softened butter.
- In a bowl, mix milk, heavy, and sour cream together. Add grated cheese, spices, salt, and breadcrumbs and combine everything.
- Arrange the cauliflower in a casserole dish, in one layer, then pour the mixture over it.
- Sprinkle a little more breadcrumbs and cheese on top if you have any leftovers, then put it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 30 minutes.
- When the cheesy cauliflower is done, let it cool for about 10 minutes, and then serve with a seasonal salad or another dish of your choice.
