Equipment
- Sauté pan
- Spoon
- Baking tray
- Baking paper
Ingredients
- 2 cups cauliflower around 250g
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 4 tbsp greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 6 slices gouda cheese
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 large baguette
Instructions
- Chop the cauliflower into teeny tiny pieces or do this in the food processor.
- In a sauté pan on low to medium heat add 1 tbsp butter, the cauliflower, minced garlic, thyme, salt, pepper and stir. Cook for 5-8 minutes until softened, take off the heat and let it cool down.
- In the mean time preheat the oven to 180 deg C and line a baking tray with baking paper. Shred all the cheese and set aside. Slice the baguette in half length wise and then cut each length into 3 parts hence you should have 6 pieces of bread.
- Now back to the cauliflower, add the remaining butter, yogurt, mustard, nutmeg, all the shredded cheese - leaving some of the parmesan aside for the top. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Place a slice of gouda on each piece of bread, dollop each piece of toast with the cauliflower mixture, finish with the remaining parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden and the top is bubbling. Serve it hot.
Notes
- Allow the cauliflower to cool little before mixing in the cheese or els it will all start melting immediately.
