Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 medium-size head of cauliflower
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 (14.5 oz / 411 gr) can diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes
  • A pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 2 large free-range organic eggs (or 3 medium)
  • 3/4 cup / 3 oz / 85 gr goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt; sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and thyme; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  • If you don’t have goat cheese, you can substitute with feta cheese or ricotta cheese.
  • Serve this casserole as a side dish or a main course with a salad.
