Cauliflower And Canadian Bacon Gratin In Muffin Cups Recipes

CAULIFLOWER AND BACON GRATIN

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8 by 8-inch casserole dish. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor, blend the bread until it forms into crumbs.
• In a large non-stick skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring constantly until all the butter has been absorbed and the bread crumbs are toasted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream and flour. Add the capers, bacon and 1/2 cup of the Gruyere. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook for 2 minutes. Drain the cauliflower and toss with the cream mixture. Pour the cauliflower mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the bread crumbs and remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
• Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the cheese has melted and the top is golden brown.

CANADIAN CAULIFLOWER CHEDDAR CUPS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 3375 F. Very lightly grease a 12-cup mini-muffin pan. Line each cup with a slice of Canadian bacon. On the stovetop, steam cauliflower until very soft. Transfer cauliflower to a bowl and mash it. Add sour cream, parsley, green onion, and salt and pepper to taste, and mix well. Fill Canadian bacon cups with cauliflower mixture. Top each cup with cheddar cheese. Bake for 15 minutes.

CHEESY CAULIFLOWER & BACON GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the bacon for 5 mins until just starting to crisp. Add the onion and sizzle for 12 mins until soft and golden.
• Meanwhile, tip the potatoes into a large pan of water, making sure they are well covered. Bring to a gentle boil, then add the cauliflower and cook everything for 6-7 mins until both are tender. Tip into a colander and drain thoroughly.
• In a gratin dish, layer the potato and cauliflower, then scatter with bacon, onion and a small handful of cheese. Drizzle each layer with a little cream and season. Continue until all the layers are finished, pour over the remaining cream and scatter with the last of the cheese. Bake for 30 mins until bubbling. Remove from the oven and set aside for 1 min to rest. Serve straight from the dish with a crisp green salad.

CAULIFLOWER CRUST EGG CUPS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (200°C).
• Using a food processor or a cheese grater, grate the cauliflower until fine or "riced."
• Transfer the riced cauliflower to a large microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle with salt and microwave for 5 minutes. This will steam the cauliflower to help you remove the moisture.
• Allow cauliflower to cool and transfer into a second bowl lined with a thin towel (cheesecloth and paper towels will also work). Wrap the cauliflower tightly and squeeze out the liquid. You may need to switch towels to ensure as much liquid has been removed as possible.
• Return the cauliflower to your large bowl and add olive oil, garlic powder, onion, parmesan, salt, pepper, and 2 of the eggs. Combine well.
• Line a lightly greased muffin tin with the cauliflower mixture, using your fingers to press it firmly into the bottom and sides, creating a crust.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown.
• Pour the remaining whisked eggs evenly into the cauliflower cups, then add toppings of your choice. We used tomatoes and basil, spinach and mushrooms, and broccoli and cheddar cheese.
• Bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until eggs are cooked through.
• Allow to cool slightly before serving.
• Enjoy!

CAULIFLOWER AND CANADIAN BACON GRATIN IN MUFFIN CUPS

Steps:

• In a food processor, shred the bread and Parmesan Cheese together until it becomes crumb like.
• In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium low heat and add flour. Cook whisking vigorously for 2 minutes, being very careful not to burn. Add milk. Cook for another 2 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high and add cauliflower. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover pot and cook for abut 5 minutes until the cauliflower begins to soften. Add ham and remaining cheese. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
• Cool mixture and scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into a muffin tin with each cup coated with non stick cooking spray. Cover the top of each "muffin" with the bread and Parmesan mixture.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes, covered with foil. Remove foil and bake for about another 15 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown on top.
• Enjoy!

CAULIFLOWER BACON GRATIN

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 425° F (232°C). Generously butter a 2 1/2-quart ovenproof dish and place it on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper. (It's not elegant and it's a tad too big, but a 9-by-13-inch baking dish works fine.).
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut florets from the cauliflower, leaving about an inch or so of stem. Drop the florets into the boiling water and cook until fork-tender, anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of the florets. (Alternatively, you can steam the florets over salted water.) Drain and rinse the cauliflower florets under cold running water to cool them and pat them completely dry.
• While the cauliflower is cooking, toss the bacon strips into a heavy skillet, place the skillet over medium heat, and cook just until the bacon is browned but not crisp. Drain and pat dry.
• Spread the cauliflower in the buttered pan and scatter the bacon over the top.
• Place the flour in a bowl and gradually whisk in the eggs until blended. Slowly whisk in the cream and milk. Season the mixture with the salt, pepper, and nutmeg and stir in about 2/3 of the cheese. Pour the mixture over the cauliflower and bacon, shaking the pan a little so that the liquid settles between the florets. Scatter the remaining cheese over the top.
• Bake the cauliflower-bacon gratin for about 25 minutes, or until puffed and golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top isn't as brown as you'd like, run the gratin under the broiler for a couple of minutes.
• The gratin is best just from the oven or warm, although it can be enjoyed at room temperature, just like a quiche. You really should eat the cauliflower-bacon gratin the day it's made, but if you've got leftovers, cover and refrigerate them, then let them come to room temperature or warm briefly and gently in the oven.
