Provided by Maya | Wholesome Yum

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large head Cauliflower ((cut into small florets))
2 tbsp Unsalted butter ((melted))
Sea salt
Black pepper
2/3 cup Sour cream
1/4 cup Heavy cream
2 cloves Garlic ((minced))
1 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese ((shredded, divided))
6 tbsp Bacon bits ((cooked, divided))
1/4 cup Green onions ((chopped, divided))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with butter. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Transfer the cauliflower to a small 1.5 quart (1.4 L) casserole dish in a single layer. (Line the pan unless it's glass or stoneware. If there's too much cauliflower to fit in a single layer, roast on a larger baking sheet instead.) Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until crisp-tender.
  • Meanwhile, in the same bowl, whisk together the sour cream and heavy cream, until smooth. Stir in the minced garlic, half of the cheddar cheese, half of the bacon bits, and half of the green onions. If desired, season sauce with sea salt and black pepper. (Don't oversalt - it will get more salty as the cheese melts later.)
  • When the cauliflower is done roasting, take it out and leave the oven on. Add the cauliflower to the bowl and mix with the sauce.
  • Return the cauliflower mixture to the casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese and bacon bits.
  • Bake for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese melts. Top with remaining green onions.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER GRATIN WITH TOMATOES AND GOAT CHEESE



Roasted Cauliflower Gratin With Tomatoes and Goat Cheese image

Roasting is one of my favorite ways to prepare cauliflower, and I have always loved preparations that pair the vegetable with coriander seeds. I use coriander seeds and cinnamon to season the tomato sauce that I toss with the roasted cauliflower and sautéed red onions, then add a couple of eggs beaten with goat cheese.

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course, side dish

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium-size head of cauliflower
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small or 1/2 large red onion, cut in half or quarters (if using a whole onion) lengthwise, then sliced thin across the grain
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 (14 8/10-ounce) can chopped tomatoes in juice
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, lightly toasted and coarsely ground
2 eggs
2 1/2 ounces soft goat cheese (about 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons)
2 to 3 teaspoon chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil. Cut away the bottom of the cauliflower stem and trim off leaves. Cut cauliflower into 1/3 inch thick slices, letting the florets on the edges fall off. Toss all of it, including the bits that have fallen away, with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on baking sheet in an even layer.
  • Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring and flipping over the big slices after 8 minutes, until the slices are tender when pierced with a paring knife and the small florets are nicely browned. Remove from oven and cut large slices into smaller pieces. You should have about 2 cups. Transfer to a large bowl. Turn oven down to 375 degrees.
  • Oil a 1-1/2 to 2-quart baking dish or gratin. Heat remaining oil over medium heat in a medium-size skillet or a wide saucepan and add onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic and thyme and continue to cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add tomatoes, cinnamon, ground coriander seeds, and salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, over medium-low heat, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the sauce is fragrant. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add to bowl with the cauliflower and stir everything together. Scrape into prepared baking dish.
  • Set aside 2 tablespoons of the goat cheese. Beat eggs, then add the remaining cheese and beat together until smooth. Pour over cauliflower mixture, making sure to scrape out every last bit with a rubber spatula. Dot top with small pieces of the remaining goat cheese and sprinkle on chives.
  • Bake 30 minutes, until top is beginning to brown in spots. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE



Cauliflower Casserole image

This is Grandma Nichols's recipe...I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! We miss you, Grandma! I always HATED cooked cauliflower...until I tasted this! It's oh, so, good! Great with holiday roasts, hams, turkey, etc. or just on it's own when you are pressed for time and don't have the energy to cook a big dinner.

Categories     Cheese

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 head cauliflower (or use a bag of frozen)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (or try colby jack)
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup French-fried onions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Bring a medium sized pot of salted water to boil. While water is heating, wash and cut cauliflower into small or medium pieces. If using frozen cauliflower, skip this step.
  • Once water is boiling, carefully add cauliflower. When water has returned to boil, turn down and simmer - uncovered - for approximately 8 minutes (or until cauliflower is about half cooked).
  • While cauliflower is simmering, use a fork or whisk to mix mayonnaise and sour cream in a bowl. Sprinkle with garlic salt to taste. If too thick, add a small amount of milk. You want this to be about as thick as pancake batter.
  • Once cauliflower is cooked to half-way, strain and allow to sit for a few minutes to "dry out". Once rested, place cauliflower in oven-proof baking dish (glass or metal), sprinkle with a touch of salt and pepper, and cover with mayonnaise/sour cream sauce.
  • Cover with shredded cheese. Place in oven and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Remove from oven and place French Fried onions on top. If you don't have French Fried onions, try crushed corn flakes or a mixture of bread crumbs and/or cracker crumbs. Return to oven and bake long enough to crisp and brown onions or other crunchy toppings (about 5 to 7 minutes). Watch this carefully so the onions or other topping doesn't burn.
  • Serve immediately but be careful! It's really hot and will catch little ones unaware!
