How to Make Cauliflower Pie

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets, and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of water, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cauliflower is tender-crisp, about 10-12 minutes.
  4. Drain the cauliflower well.
  5. Arrange 1 package (14.1 ounces) of refrigerated crescent roll dough in a 9-inch pie plate, pressing into the bottom and up the sides.
  6. Place the cooked cauliflower in the crescent roll crust, stem ends facing down.
  7. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the cauliflower.
  8. In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cauliflower and cheese.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  11. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
