Instructions
Prepare the Cauliflower
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the salt, and blanch the cauliflower florets for 5 minutes.
Drain thoroughly and pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Roast the Cauliflower
Spread the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until slightly golden.
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, a pinch of black pepper, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
Assemble the Dish
Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a greased baking dish.
Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the cauliflower.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and distribute the mozzarella pieces over the top.
Lightly dust with paprika for added color and flavor.
Bake
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown on top.
Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve as a standalone dish or pair it with a green salad, grilled meat, or fish.
Tips for Best Results
Dry the Cauliflower: Ensure the cauliflower is well-dried after boiling to avoid excess water in the dish.
Cheese Substitutes: Use cheddar, gouda, or your favorite melting cheese if mozzarella is unavailable.
Breadcrumb Topping: For extra crunch, sprinkle breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan on top before baking.
