Description

Cauliflower florets are baked with egg, milk, and Cheddar in this super simple recipe for a cheesy vegetable side dish.

Ingredients

cooking spray (such as Pam®)
3 cups bite-sized cauliflower florets
1 egg
1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 pinch ground paprika

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
2 Place cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/2 cup water. Microwave until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
3 Whisk egg and flour together in a bowl. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Pour over cauliflower florets. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese and paprika on top.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and cauliflower is soft, 30 to 40 minutes.
