How to Make Cauliflower Cheese Pie
- **Make the Crust:**
- Peel and grate 2 large russet potatoes. Place in a colander over a bowl and salt generously. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Squeeze out excess water from the potatoes thoroughly. Add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons melted butter to the potatoes. Mix well.
- Pat the potato mixture into a well-oiled 9-inch pie pan, pressing it up the sides to form a crust.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown. After 30 minutes, brush the crust with 1 tablespoon olive oil to encourage crisping.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- **Prepare the Filling:**
- Saute 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons butter for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add 1 teaspoon dried basil (or 2 tablespoons fresh, chopped), and 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets. Cook, covered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Spread 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese into the baked crust.
- Add the sauteed onion, garlic, and cauliflower mixture on top of the cheese.
- Top with the remaining 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese.
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup milk.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and cheese.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly browned.
