Cauliflower and Carrot Casserole image

This is a great side-dish. Carrots and cauliflower are baked in a zesty hollandaise sauce. It may seem complicated but its very easy, as long as you have a blender. Very creamy and zippy!! Not to mention DELICIOUS!

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head cauliflower, broken into small florets
4 medium carrots, peeled and diagonally sliced
3 egg yolks
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 dash hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™)
½ cup butter, melted
¾ cup coarsely crushed buttery round crackers
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring about 2 inches of water to a boil in a large pot. Add cauliflower and carrots, and boil for about 7 minutes, until fork tender. Drain well, and transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, combine the egg yolks, salt, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce in a blender or food processor. Blend for a few seconds to mix, then continue to blend while slowly pouring in 1/2 cup of hot melted butter. Continue blending until thickened. Pour this sauce over the vegetables in the baking dish. Stir together the cracker crumbs and remaining butter; sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
  • Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the casserole is bubbling, and the top is toasted. Let cool slightly before serving.
