Savory cauliflower pie is a pie is the perfect choice. It’s a favorite with my husband, our son, Brett and daughter, Holly. From Debbie Hart of Fort Wayne Indiana.
Ingredients
3 cups seasoned croutons, crushed
1/2 cup butter, melted, divided
1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets
(about 5 cups)
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese,
divided
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
Method
In a bowl, combine croutons and 1/4 cup butter.
Press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 375° for 8 minutes or until lightly browned; set aside.
In a large skillet, saute the cauliflower, onion, carrots, garlic, salt and oregano in remaining butter over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese into prepared crust. Top with cauliflower mixture and remaining cheese.
In a bowl, beat the eggs and milk. Pour over pie.
Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the cauliflower is tender. Yield: 6-8 servings.
