Here's how easy it is to make it:
Ingredients:
1 large cauliflower head, cut into florets
1 cup whole milk
1 egg
2 tbsp flour
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp minced parsley/ coriander leaves, optional
Directions:
1. Fill a large pot with water, place over heat, and bring to a boil.
Boil the cauliflower florets for 5 minutes, until they have slightly
softened. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium bowl, add the milk and the egg, and whisk. Add the flour,
salt, black pepper and 1 cup of mozzarella to the mixture and continue
whisking. Finally, stir in all the cauliflower.

casserole dish and top it off with the remaining mozzarella. Place the
dish on a rack placed in the upper half of the oven. Cook for 25
minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
4. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley before
serving.
