Instructions:

- Wash the cauliflower thoroughly and remove the green leaves.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Crack the egg into the bowl and whisk it until well combined with the cheese mixture.
- Gently fold the cooked and drained cauliflower florets into the cheese and egg mixture. Make sure all the cauliflower pieces are evenly coated.
- Lightly grease a baking dish or use a parchment paper lining for easy cleanup.
- Pour the cauliflower mixture into the baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm as a main dish or side, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower is cooked until tender but not overly soft to maintain a pleasant texture.
- For a richer flavor, lightly toast the grated parmesan cheese before adding it to the mixture.
- Experiment with seasoning: a pinch of nutmeg, garlic powder, or Italian herbs can add an extra layer of flavor.
- Consider adding some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a burst of color and freshness.
