Terrific Goat Cheese Cauliflower Casserole

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

goat-cheese-cauliflower-cas

Lately it seems to be physically impossible for me to stop adding cheese to everything I cook. I’m not sure what exactly is going on, but whatever it is my waistline wishes I would get over it already. Take a lovely, healthy, low fat vegetable like cauliflower and turn it into a luscious, creamy, over the top side dish? No problemo…

Trust me, this one is worth the calories…

    I would like a big spoonful please. There’s something about hot cheese and winter that is just right. I’ll bet you won’t crave it as much as spring and then summer arrive.

    Everything always tastes better with a hearty dose of cheese. At least you can say this dish is healthy because it has cauliflower in it, right? Plus, who doesn’t need a little extra calcium?

    Yummmmm. I’ve been putting cheese on a lot of my dishes, too. I can only think that my body is craving calcium and Vitamin D.

    There is nothing wrong with cheese. Yellow cheese, white cheese, hard cheese or soft cheese. Just a better way to drink your milk.

    I have *got* to quit looking at your blog before breakfast! This looks soooo good. Not sure how the other 2 might like it(they’re more interested in raw cauliflower, not that there’s anything wrong with that. 😉 ), but I’m sure that could make a pretty good meal for me, all on it’s own. Yum!

    Oh, I have GOT to try this one! Everything tastes better with cheese, right? Since I can’t walk past the cheese counter at the grocery store without buying something, I may as well add it to something healthy!

    However, not caffeine!

      Hi Jenny,

      I’m sorry. We launched the new site and somehow the caffeine post got bumped off the first page!

    Fantastic recipe. We have a local goat cheese dairy in my town and I found out you can go to Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy and get 3lb or 5lb buckets of goat cheese. Oh Heaven…. This is the first time to your blog. Great job!

      Chef Connie,

      I could probably really hurt myself with a 3 lb. bucket of goat cheese!

      Thanks for dropping by,
