Cauliflower casserole with kefir in the oven
If you appreciate delicious food, but at the same time prefer a balanced diet, this recipe is for you! Cauliflower turns out very tender and juicy, soaked in a filling of eggs and kefir.
Since the vegetable inflorescences do not have a pronounced taste, feel free to add spices to the casserole to taste. Ground coriander, black pepper, dry garlic, paprika or dried adjika are best suited. Sautéed vegetables and spices give the dish an amazing aroma. The dish is prepared quickly, simply and from budget products, but the result is magnificent.
If desired, processed cheese can be replaced with pizza mozzarella or hard cheese.
