Cauliflower Steak Gratin (4)
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas 4. Slice the cauliflower, including the stalks and leaves (if they aren’t too manky), into steaks 3cm thick. Some florets will break away, but keep those as well.
  2. Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan. When really hot, brown the cauliflower steaks on each side. Transfer to a gratin dish.
  3. If using the onion, add some more oil to the frying pan, add the onion slices and cook gently until soft and golden. This will take 10 minutes or a bit longer, so if you can’t be bothered, leave this step out.
  4. Mix the eggs, garlic, cooked onion, if using, and cheese together, and season with salt and pepper. Pour over the cauliflower and bake for 15–20 minutes until the eggs are set and golden. Scatter with the chopped herbs before serving with a fresh green salad.
