CAULIFLOWER CHEESE PIE WITH POTATO CRUST



CAULIFLOWER CHEESE PIE WITH POTATO CRUST image

Categories     Vegetable     Bake

Yield 8 People

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the Crust:
2C (packed) grated raw potato
1/4 C grated onion
1/2 t. salt
1 egg white lightly beaten
flour for your fingers
a little oil
For the Filling (Prepare while crust is baking):
1 medium head of cauliflower chopped small
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp olive oil or butter
1 tsp thyme leaves
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 to 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • The Crust: Heat your oven to 400f. Generously spray a 9 inch pie tin with pan spray. Combine grated potatoes and onion, salt and egg white in a small bowl and mix well. Transfer to the pie pan and pat into place with lightly floured fingers building up the sides into a nice crust. Bake for 30 minutes, remove from the oven, brush the crust with a little oil and return to bake for about 10 minutes more. The oil will help crisp up the crust a bit. Remove from oven and turn your oven down to 375f. The Filling: Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet. Add onion, garlic. salt, pepper and thyme, and saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add cauliflower, stir and cover. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally (about 8-10 min.) Spread half the cheese onto the baked crust. Spoon the sauteed vegetables on top, then sprinkle with remaining cheese. Beat the eggs and milk together, and pour this over the top (this mixture will not completely cover the cauliflower, but it is enough). Bake 35-40 min, or until set. Serve hot or warm.

Tips:

  • For a crispy potato crust, use a combination of mashed and shredded potatoes. The mashed potatoes will help to bind the crust together, while the shredded potatoes will add a crispy texture.
  • If you don't have time to make your own mashed potatoes, you can use instant mashed potatoes instead. Just be sure to follow the package directions carefully.
  • To make the cauliflower cheese filling, you can use either fresh or frozen cauliflower. If using frozen cauliflower, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • You can add other vegetables to the cauliflower cheese filling, such as broccoli, carrots, or peas.
  • To make the cheese sauce, you can use either cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and Parmesan cheese. For a richer flavor, use a sharp cheddar cheese.
  • If you don't have any fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley instead. Just be sure to use about 1/4 of the amount of dried parsley as you would fresh parsley.
  • Serve the cauliflower cheese pie warm with a side salad or your favorite vegetables.

Conclusion:

This cauliflower cheese pie with potato crust is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The crispy potato crust and the creamy cauliflower cheese filling are a perfect combination, and the pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
