Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- Wash and cut the cauliflower into small florets. Place the florets in a microwave-safe bowl, add a splash of water, cover, and microwave on high for about 5-6 minutes, or until tender. Drain any excess water.
- Slice the Vienna sausages into bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the sausage pieces until they are slightly browned, around 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, salt, and mustard until well combined.
- Add the cooked cauliflower florets and browned sausage to the egg mixture. Stir in ¾ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, leaving the remaining ¼ cup for topping.
- Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of cheddar cheese on top.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower is cut into small, uniform florets for even cooking.
- Pre-cook the cauliflower slightly by steaming or microwaving to soften it before baking.
- Shred the cheddar cheese yourself for better melting quality and fewer additives.
- Consider adding finely chopped onions or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set properly.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated easily, making it a great meal prep option.
