Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Trim the cauliflower florets into bite-sized pieces and steam or boil them until just tender, about 5-7 minutes, then drain well.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Add the drained cauliflower florets and half of the grated Swiss cheese to the egg mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining grated Swiss cheese over the top.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
