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.
