Searching through the vegetable bin this evening, I saw the cauliflower I’d bought earlier. My cauliflower always ends up with (or starts with?) grey spots on it, but I just cut them off. I’m guessing that just means they’re a bit older than they should be. The joys of supermarket shopping. Anyway, I’ve done Fried Cauliflower, Cauliflower and Carrots, and Zucchini, and a plain cheese sauce on cauliflower but none of those sounded good tonight. I had torn out a recipe for a mashed cauliflower (a la mashed potatoes) but couldn’t find it, so I tried this.

1 head cauliflower, cut in florets
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup grated Swiss cheese
3 Tbs butter, divided
salt and pepper
1-2 Tbs bread crumbs

Cook the cauliflower in simmering water until soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain. (On the CheapCooking theme, save the water for some soup.)

Mash the cauliflower, milk, egg, cheese, and 2 Tbs of the butter together. Spread in a greased loaf pan or small casserole dish. Sprinkle the bread crumbs on the top and dot the last tablespoon of butter on it.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or so.
