Ingredients

• 2 heads cauliflower, cut into florets
• 5 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups heavy cream
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Additional ½ cup grated parmesan for topping

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven.
   Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish and set aside.
2. Cook the cauliflower.
   Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. Add cauliflower florets and cook for
   3–4 minutes, just until tender. Do not overcook.
   Drain thoroughly to remove as much moisture as possible.
3. Prepare the cheese mixture.
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder,
   onion powder, and all three cheeses.
   Pour in the melted butter (ensure it’s cooled slightly) and stir until smooth.
4. Layer the casserole.
   Spread the drained cauliflower evenly into your prepared baking dish.
   Pour the cheese mixture over the cauliflower, making sure everything is coated.
5. Add parmesan topping.
   Sprinkle the additional ½ cup of grated parmesan over the top for a golden crust.
6. Bake.
   Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the top is browned and bubbling.
7. Serve.
   Allow to cool slightly, then serve warm. This casserole reheats beautifully and
   makes an excellent leftover.
