Finnish Cauliflower Rye Casserole
In the Finnish language, this is called Kukkakaalialaatikko. This sounds like a good dish to me. This would be a good side for any main dish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup beer
- 3 cups rye bread, cubed, about 4 slices
- 1 head fresh cauliflower, cut into bite size pieces plus stem
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 3 cups Sharp Cheddar cheese, or Swiss cheese, shredded
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- The beer needs to be flat, so measure it and let it sit for about an hour on the counter before you start cooking.
- Toast the bread cubes in one layer at 150 C until they're crisp, not toasted. About 15 minutes. Place the bread cubes in a large bowl. Heat the oven to 180 C.
- In a skillet, cook the cauliflower and caraway seeds in the butter until barely tender. Add this to the bowl with the bread cubes, add the cheese and mix to combine. Spread this mixture into a 8 inch square baking dish or a 7x11 baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix the beer, eggs, mustard, coriander, and black pepper as desired. Pour this over the bread mixture. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until puffed up slightly and golden brown.
