230g
1 cauliflower
260g
1 egg
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Cauliflower:
- Wash the cauliflower thoroughly and remove the green leaves.
- Cut the cauliflower into small florets.
3. Cook the Cauliflower:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
- Drain the cauliflower and let it cool slightly.
4. Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture:
- 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.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Gently fold the cooked and drained cauliflower florets into the cheese and egg mixture. Make sure all the cauliflower pieces are evenly coated.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish:
- 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.
7. Bake:
- 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.
8. Serve:
- 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.
