Cauliflower Casserole
Description
The Cauliflower Casserole starts by boiling peeled, chopped yellow potatoes and cauliflower florets together until both are crisp-tender. After draining, the vegetables are placed in a baking dish and dressed with olive oil, fresh thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, contributing herby and savory notes. Milk is poured over to add moisture and creaminess.
Shredded cheddar cheese is spread on top, which melts into a golden, bubbly crust during a 15 to 20-minute bake in a hot oven. The final dish combines the softness of boiled vegetables with the rich sharpness of melted cheddar, providing comforting textures and flavors.
This casserole works well as a side dish to meat or as a vegetarian main when paired with a salad. Its preparation is straightforward, requiring simple ingredients and common cooking techniques.
Leftover casserole keeps well covered in the refrigerator for up to three days, allowing for easy reheating and serving the next day.
