Why we love it

For a quick and healthy breakfast there is nothing like a cauliflower breakfast casserole. This wholesome dish combines the goodness of cauliflower with the classic breakfast trio of eggs, ham, and cheese.

It is a dish that you can easily prepare in advance and dish up in the morning. The cauliflower serves as the perfect base, providing plenty of protein to keep you feeling satisfied until lunchtime.

The ham adds a savory note, while the golden melted cheese brings a delightful creaminess. And then you have the eggs to bind everything together and add even more protein and healthy goodness to this dish.

It is so good and versatile, you may even be tempted to have it for lunch or dinner!

What to serve with it?

This delicious cauliflower egg casserole can be served by itself, but you can also serve it for breakfast with a snack like these smoked salmon taquitos or these ham and spinach egg muffins.

You can also serve it as a side dish for lunch or dinner with a main like Air fryer lamb shoulder roast.

How to store it?

You can easily prepare this cauliflower breakfast casserole in advance, and even keep it overnight in the fridge. Keep it in airtight glass containers in the fridge, and take it the next day for a packed lunch.

I wouldn’t recommend freezing it however, as the egg and cream may not do well in the freezer.
