Instructions
- Roast cauliflower: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with foil. Cut cauliflower into ⅓-inch thick slices. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned.

- Simmer sauce: Add tomatoes, coriander, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
- Combine and bake: Combine roasted cauliflower and tomato sauce in a bowl. Transfer to a greased baking dish. In a small bowl, beat eggs and goat cheese together. Pour over the cauliflower mixture. Bake at 450°F for 30 minutes, until the top begins to brown.
- Serve: Let the casserole sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with parsley.
Notes
- You can use other herbs, such as oregano or rosemary, in place of thyme.
