Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cauliflower, about 600g (1lb 5oz)
½ Savoy cabbage, about 300g (10½oz)
1 litre (1 quart) water
50g (3½ tbsp) salted butter, plus 1 tsp, and more for the top
75g (generous ½ cup) plain flour (all-purpose flour)
100ml (scant ½ cup) whole milk
½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
4 eggs, separated
2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs
Sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the cauliflower into chunks and the cabbage into large pieces. Boil both in the measured, salted water for about 2 minutes. Drain over a bowl, reserving the cooking liquid.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
  • Melt the 50g (3½ tbsp) butter in a saucepan over a medium-low heat and stir in the flour, mixing it into a smooth roux. Now start adding the reserved vegetable cooking water, little by little, stirring after each addition until all the lumps have gone, then add the milk in the same way. When it has all been added, season with salt, pepper and the nutmeg.
  • Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool a little. Then add the egg yolks and stir again. Fold in the cauliflower and cabbage.
  • In a separate, scrupulously clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold into the cauliflower mixture and season once more with salt and pepper.
  • Butter a large ovenproof dish or cake tin with the 1 tsp of butter and sprinkle the buttered inside evenly with some of the breadcrumbs. Spoon in the cauliflower mixture, cover with the remaining breadcrumbs, then place small dots of butter evenly on top.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, then serve.

CAULIFLOWER CRUST EGG CUPS RECIPE BY TASTY



Cauliflower Crust Egg Cups Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: cauliflower, salt, olive oil, garlic powder, onion, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, eggs, tomato, fresh basil, fresh spinach, broccoli, cheddar cheese

Provided by Crystal Hatch

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 head cauliflower, medium-large
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
⅓ cup onion, diced
½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
6 eggs, whisked, separate into a batch of 2 and a batch of 4
tomato, for garnish
fresh basil, for garnish
fresh spinach, for garnish
broccoli, for garnish
cheddar cheese, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (200°C).
  • Using a food processor or a cheese grater, grate the cauliflower until fine or "riced."
  • Transfer the riced cauliflower to a large microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle with salt and microwave for 5 minutes. This will steam the cauliflower to help you remove the moisture.
  • Allow cauliflower to cool and transfer into a second bowl lined with a thin towel (cheesecloth and paper towels will also work). Wrap the cauliflower tightly and squeeze out the liquid. You may need to switch towels to ensure as much liquid has been removed as possible.
  • Return the cauliflower to your large bowl and add olive oil, garlic powder, onion, parmesan, salt, pepper, and 2 of the eggs. Combine well.
  • Line a lightly greased muffin tin with the cauliflower mixture, using your fingers to press it firmly into the bottom and sides, creating a crust.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown.
  • Pour the remaining whisked eggs evenly into the cauliflower cups, then add toppings of your choice. We used tomatoes and basil, spinach and mushrooms, and broccoli and cheddar cheese.
  • Bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until eggs are cooked through.
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and compact, with no signs of bruising or wilting. A medium-sized head of cauliflower should be enough for this recipe.
  • Cut the cauliflower into small florets: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor to do this.
  • Steam the cauliflower until tender: You can do this in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water, or in a microwave. The cauliflower should be tender but still have a slight crunch to it.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, and cheese together: This will create a smooth and creamy custard. You can use any type of milk or cheese that you like, but cheddar cheese is a classic choice.
  • Pour the custard over the cauliflower: Make sure the cauliflower is evenly coated.
  • Bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown: This should take about 25-30 minutes. You can check if the custard is set by inserting a toothpick into the center of the dish. If it comes out clean, the custard is done.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower and egg cheese is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. With its cheesy, creamy flavor and tender cauliflower, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
