A delightful casserole combining tender cauliflower, creamy cheese, and a crispy cracker topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking from the start.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and dice the onion.
Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.
Steam or boil the cauliflower and onion until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Steaming helps retain more nutrients compared to boiling.
Drain the cooked vegetables and place them in a casserole dish.
Ensure the vegetables are well-drained to avoid a watery casserole.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cheese and milk.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the cheese melts evenly during baking.
Pour the cheese mixture over the vegetables in the casserole dish.
Spread the mixture evenly for consistent flavor.
Crush the crackers and mix them with melted butter.
Use a rolling pin to crush the crackers for a finer texture.
Sprinkle the cracker mixture over the casserole.
Spread the topping evenly for a uniform crispy layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
Allowing it to cool slightly helps the flavors meld together.
