(Cauliflower Rye Casserole)
Cooking Recipes Ingredients:
1 cup beer
3 cups rye bread cubes (about 4 slices)
1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
2 tbls butter
1 tsp caraway seeds
3 cups grated extra sharp cheddar cheese
4 eggs
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp ground coriander seeds
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cooking Recipes Directions
At least an hour before cooking, pour the beer into a shallow
bowl to sit until it becomes flat.
Dry the bread cubes on a baking sheet in a 300°F oven
until they are crisp but not browned, probably about 15 to
20 minutes.
Sauté the cauliflower in the butter with the caraway
seeds until just barely tender. Combine the bread cubes and
cauliflower with the grated cheese. Spread the mixture into
a buttered 2-quart casserole dish.
Mix the eggs, mustard, coriander, and black pepper in a blender
or by hand with the flat beer and pour the mixture into the
casserole dish.
Bake at 350°F for 30 to 45 minutes until puffed and golden.
