Cauliflower casserole

Here's a delicious and healthy Cauliflower Casserole recipe that's cheesy and satisfying:

Ingredients:

• 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional for a crunchy topping)
• 2 tbsp butter, melted

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a casserole dish with a little butter or olive oil.

2. Cook the cauliflower: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly tender but still firm. Drain well and set aside.

3. Make the creamy sauce: In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.

4. Assemble the casserole:

   • Spread the cooked cauliflower evenly in the greased casserole dish.
   • Pour the cheese mixture over the cauliflower, making sure it's well-coated.

5. Add breadcrumbs (optional): If you like a crunchy topping, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter and sprinkle them over the top of the casserole.

6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

7. Garnish and serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle the casserole with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Serve:

This cauliflower casserole pairs well with grilled meats or as a main dish for a lighter meal. It’s perfect for low-carb diets or as a comforting side dish.
