A casserole cooked in the oven is a hearty dish that can be prepared in different ways. For example, a very tasty casserole is made from cauliflower, seasoned with a sauce of mayonnaise and egg, and sprinkled with grated cheese. To make the dish juicy, choose fresh cauliflower: there should be no plaque on the surface of the leaves and inflorescences, the head of cabbage should be whole and absolutely clean.

How to cook Cauliflower Casserole

Step 1

Prepare the cabbage. Melt the butter in a frying pan. Add the cauliflower florets and fry for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Make the casserole filling. Beat the eggs in a deep bowl, add salt to taste, add mayonnaise and beat. Add the eggs to the cabbage and mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Bake the casserole. Place the cauliflower florets with the filling in a baking dish. Sprinkle grated cheese on top. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake the casserole for 30 minutes.

Cauliflower Casserole - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use frozen cauliflower instead of fresh for this casserole?

Yes, frozen cauliflower works well—just thaw and drain it thoroughly to remove excess moisture before frying to avoid a watery casserole.

What can I use as a substitute for mayonnaise in the filling?

Greek yogurt or sour cream are great mayo alternatives—they provide creaminess with a tangy flavor. For a dairy-free option, try unsweetened coconut yogurt.

How long does cauliflower casserole last in the fridge?

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Can I make this casserole vegetarian?

It’s already vegetarian! For a vegan version, use plant-based butter, egg substitutes (like flax eggs), and dairy-free cheese and mayo.

What’s the best cheese to use for topping?

Cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère melt beautifully. For extra flavor, try a mix of Parmesan and sharp cheddar.

How can I make this recipe lower in carbs?

Reduce carbs further by skipping the mayo (use whipped cottage cheese) and opting for a high-fat cheese like Gouda or Swiss.

Can I freeze cauliflower casserole?

Yes! Freeze before baking for best results. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then bake as directed. Pre-baked casserole may become slightly watery after thawing.

What sides pair well with this dish?

Serve with a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or grilled chicken for a balanced meal. Crusty bread is great for soaking up any cheesy bits.

Can I add protein to this casserole?

Absolutely! Diced ham, cooked bacon, or shredded chicken (about 1–2 cups) blend well with the flavors—just fold them into the filling before baking.
