Ingredients
  

  • 2 heads cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmesan, for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the cauliflower just until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Drain the cauliflower well to remove excess moisture, then transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cheeses (cheddar, parmesan, mozzarella).
  • Mix in melted butter (ensure it’s cooled slightly before adding).
  • Pour the cheese mixture over the cauliflower, then top with the additional ½ cup parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For a little extra kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne or chopped green onions to the mixture before baking.
