Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cooking spray
2 tablespoons salt
1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets
2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
2 cups low-fat sour cream
¼ cup melted butter
¼ cup green onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup chopped blanched almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with 2 tablespoons salt. Add cauliflower and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well and place between several layers of paper towels to dry. Transfer cauliflower to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Combine, cottage cheese, sour cream, butter, green onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir cheese mixture into the bowl with the cooked cauliflower and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Spoon Parmesan cheese on top. Cover with an oven-proof lid or aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium heat and add almonds. Cook, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle almonds on top of cheesy cauliflower bake and return to the oven for 10 minutes more.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cheesy cauliflower bake turned out soggy. I think I might have added too much milk.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more spices or herbs.

This cheesy cauliflower bake was a hit! The cauliflower was perfectly tender and the cheese sauce was rich and flavorful. I loved the addition of the bread crumbs, which gave the dish a nice crispy topping. I will definitely be making this again.
