A creamy and cheesy bake that combines cauliflower, mushrooms, and cottage cheese for a healthy and delicious family meal.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1.5 cups full-fat cottage cheese (blended)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions

  1. Steam cauliflower florets until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain and let sit in the colander to steam dry completely.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Cook the mushrooms until they are browned and dry, about 8–10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese, eggs, onion powder, thyme, and 1 cup of the shredded Swiss cheese until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the dried cauliflower and the browned mushrooms until evenly mixed.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Top with the remaining Swiss cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
  • Blend the cottage cheese before mixing to ensure a smooth consistency.
  • Let the cauliflower steam dry completely to avoid excess moisture in the bake.
