Cauliflower Rye Casserole image

Yeah, I know this looks a little odd, but it's really good. "Sundays at Moosewood" describes it as a baked cheese fondue...I suppose that's pretty accurate.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup beer
3 cups cubed rye bread (about 4 slices)
1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon caraway seed
3 cups extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
4 eggs
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
pepper

Steps:

  • The beer needs to be flat for this recipe, so pour it out and let it sit for about an hour before you start cooking.
  • Toast the bread cubes in one layer at 300 f until they're crisp. This will probably take 15 minutes.
  • Saute the cauliflower and caraway seeds in the butter until barely tender.
  • Combine bread cubes, cauliflower, and grated cheese, then spread in a greased 2 quart casserole dish.
  • Blend remaining ingredients (including that beer) and pour over the cauliflower.
  • Bake at 350 F for 30-45 minutes, until puffed up.
