Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 600 g Cauliflower (about 1 large head)
  • 1 large Egg
  • 150 g Sour Cream (or white yogurt)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • Dried Garlic, to taste
  • 50 g Cheese (your choice, shredded)
  • Olive Oil, for drizzling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by boiling salted water in a large pot. Cut the cauliflower into florets and toss them into the boiling water. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until they’re slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Mixing
  1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower with the egg, sour cream, salt, black pepper, garlic, and cheese. Mix everything well so that the cauliflower is evenly coated.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). While the oven is heating, grease a baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly. Drizzle a little more olive oil on top for extra flavor.
  3. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Serving
  1. Once baked, allow it to cool slightly before serving. This helps to break up the heat and makes it easier to enjoy.

Notes

This dish can be served as a side dish or a main course. For extra flavor, consider garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley. Experiment with different types of cheese and add breadcrumbs for texture if desired.
