This is a fantastice recipe!! Although I like cauliflower, it is not a vegetable I instinctively know how what to do with. This recipe is easy, delicious, quick to make and you don't need a ton of ingredients. Also, you could use this as a base recipe and be creative by adding different veggies, or meat and/or adding different varieties of cheese and you could also make this more decadent by adding cream instead of milk. This is a great cold weather, easy go to side dish that is great for any occasion. Thanks for sharing!!! -
I love cauliflower. This was perfect because the cauliflower was not drowning in a fattening sauce. I wasn't eggy or too cheesy.... just right. I used green onions to sprinkle on top.... way more than the amount called for. The contrast was made a nice presentation. This side dish goes great with anything. Thanx for posting! -
I enjoyed this recipe very much. I used green onion, probably about 1 tablespoon, but otherwise made the recipe as directed. I was very generous with the black pepper, but I really like the way pepper compliments cauliflower. The cauliflower is not drowning in custard, but rather it's a thin layer at the bottom of the casserole -- just right!

This is a terrific receipe. I followed directions exactly with no changes. will make again. a real keeper. Thanks. -
I used broccoli and cubed cooked chicken in this recipe for a meal. I also substituted 4 egg whites for the 2 eggs.Very easy to make, makes a quick tasty dish. Thanks for posting Aroostook, this is a great basic recipe that can be made with so many variations, I'm looking forward to trying lots more.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
