Cauliflower Bake is a cheesy and impossibly easy casserole! Even cauliflower haters love this yummy recipe.
Cauliflower Bake
Have you heard of Impossible Pies made with Bisquick? This delicious Cauliflower Bake is like that, but instead includes cauliflower and is in casserole form. It’s super easy to whip up and everyone always raves about how good it is!
I served this Cauliflower Bake alongside steak a few weeks ago at a little BBQ get-together we were having. My guests loved it – even the cauliflower haters! That’s when you know you have a winning recipe when you can make a hater a lover.
The hardest part about this recipe is chopping the cauliflower. It’s smooth sailing after that. Easy recipes are my jam.
Leftovers taste even better. I heated up a piece in the microwave the next day and it was still yummy. This recipe is a definite keeper.
Cauliflower Bake Ingredients
You’ll need one head of cauliflower cut into florets for this recipe. My only complaint about cauliflower is the price. It seems to be going up and up where I live. Still love it though!
The only other veggie you need is onions. I like sweet onions the best, but any onion you have on hand should be fine.
Other ingredients include butter, oregano, garlic, eggs, Bisquick, milk and cheddar cheese. I also used chopped parsley for the garnish, but you could leave that out if you want.
How to Make Cauliflower Bake
Start by melting butter in a skillet over medium heat. Then, add the cauliflower florets, onions, oregano and garlic. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until veggies are softened. Spread the mixture in a 9×13 ungreased casserole dish.
In a bowl, whisk eggs, Bisquick, milk and cheese. Pour over the veggies in the casserole dish.
Bake for 40 minutes at 350F. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley if you wish.

Searching for something different to do with this week’s produce find and I just saw this. We love the nutritional benefits of cauliflower but sometimes it gets a little boring. I’m going to give this one a shot, thank you!
Fran Roberts says
Sounds yummy, hope to try it soon. Thank you.
Nancy says
I would like to make this with ground beef or diced chicken. Have you ever made it like that? I was thinking that it may need another egg or two for that. What do you think?
Stacie says
I haven’t added beef or chicken, but I bet it would be good! It should be fine just to add the meat in the recipe as is. If you think it needs more liquid after you mix it up, you could add an extra egg.
DavetteB says
Just make sure the meat is well drained. You shouldn’t need an extra egg. Depending on how much you add you may need a larger casserole dish. HTH

Yes, you can freeze it for up to three months.

This looks like what I have been wanting to make to make cauliflower a bit more delicious. Several years ago I discovered I really loved cauliflower and broccoli too. This recipe seems to be perfect. I may just try it with broccoli. Thanks for sharing. **
