Tips:

  • Prep your cauliflower in advance: To save time, grate, rice, or chop your cauliflower ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you're ready to use it. You can also use frozen cauliflower florets, just be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses to create a casserole that's uniquely yours. Some good options include sharp cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, Gruyère, and goat cheese.
  • Add some extras: Don't be afraid to add other ingredients to your casserole, such as cooked bacon, sausage, ham, diced tomatoes, or chopped spinach. This will help to create a more flavorful and satisfying dish.
  • Cook it until it's golden brown: The casserole is done cooking when the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you're not sure if it's done, insert a toothpick into the center of the casserole. If it comes out clean, the casserole is ready to serve.
