Cauliflower Casserole

Cookinero 20 Apr 2025

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.

Cauliflower Casserole - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, frozen cauliflower works well—just thaw and drain it thoroughly to remove excess moisture before frying to avoid a watery casserole.
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.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
It’s already vegetarian! For a vegan version, use plant-based butter, egg substitutes (like flax eggs), and dairy-free cheese and mayo.
Cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère melt beautifully. For extra flavor, try a mix of Parmesan and sharp cheddar.
Reduce carbs further by skipping the mayo (use whipped cottage cheese) and opting for a high-fat cheese like Gouda or Swiss.
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.
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.
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.
