Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 head Cauliflower (cut into small florets)
- 8 large Eggs (whisked)
- 225 grams (8 ounces) Canadian bacon (chopped)
Cheese and Sauce:
- 170 grams (1½ cups) Cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
- 120 milliliters (½ cup) Hollandaise sauce
Seasoning and Garnish:
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (chopped)
Instructions
- Transform cauliflower florets into tender, caramelized pieces by coating them with olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper, then spread them evenly across a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring each piece has adequate space for optimal roasting at 400°F (204°C) for 25-30 minutes until edges turn golden brown and crisp.
- While cauliflower roasts, vigorously whisk eggs in a large mixing bowl until completely smooth and uniform in texture, creating a silky base for the casserole.
- Select a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) ceramic baking dish and methodically layer the roasted cauliflower across the bottom, creating an even foundation for the subsequent ingredients.
- Gently cascade the whisked eggs over the roasted cauliflower, allowing them to naturally settle into the vegetable’s crevices and gaps.
- Generously distribute of shredded cheddar cheese across the egg-covered surface, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Strategically arrange Canadian bacon slices atop the cheese layer, creating an appetizing protein component.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the Canadian bacon, creating a final cheese blanket that will melt and bubble during baking.
- Transfer the prepared casserole to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, monitoring until the cheese becomes fully melted and the eggs are completely set.
- Remove from oven and allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes, enabling the ingredients to stabilize and flavors to meld.
- Finish by drizzling hollandaise sauce in an elegant pattern and garnishing with finely chopped chives for a sophisticated presentation.
Notes
- Browning cauliflower intensifies its natural sweetness and creates a delightful caramelized edge that elevates the entire casserole’s flavor profile.
- Whisking eggs thoroughly ensures a silky-smooth texture that binds ingredients perfectly without creating lumpy or uneven sections.
- Strategic layering guarantees every single forkful delivers a harmonious blend of cheese, Canadian bacon, and roasted cauliflower.
- Premium hollandaise sauce transforms this casserole from ordinary to extraordinary, with rich, buttery notes that complement the savory elements.
- Resting the casserole allows proteins to settle and flavors to meld, resulting in a more cohesive and appetizing dish that cuts cleanly and serves beautifully.
