Main Ingredients
  • 1 head head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for a lighter version.
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For greasing the baking dish.
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional) For extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the cauliflower florets and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower, shredded cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Transfer the creamy mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  2. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole. If you like, add a dusting of paprika for an extra layer of flavor.
  3. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
  4. Remove the casserole from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place the casserole in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes. For long-term storage, freeze portions well-covered for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
