Cook Time 45 minutes mins

Servings 6

Ingredients

  

• 2 lbs Cauliflower, cut into florets (can use frozen)
• 1/2 Lemon (to avoid bad smell when cooking fresh cauliflower)
• 1 Large Egg
• 1-1/2 Cups Heavy cream
• 2 Tablespoons Flour
• 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
• 1/2 Teaspoon Cumin
• 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1-1/2 Cup Grated parmesean cheese

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 375F.
• Steam the cauliflower florets in a steam basket for 10 minutes. If you don’t have a steam basket, then fill a large pot with water, toss in the florets and lemon (If using frozen cauliflower let partially thaw- Do not boil frozen in water).
• Bring it to boil. Let it simmer for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain and transfer the florets into very cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
• Whisk egg and heavy cream together. Add in flour, salt, cumin, garlic powder and black pepper. Whisk until smooth. Fold in about 1 cup of parmesan cheese. Toss in the steamed or thawed cauliflower florets and coat them well with this sauce.
• Transfer it into a casserole dish and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven, throw the remaining parmesan on top and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the cheese melts and gets nice and bubbly.
