INGREDIENTS

  • 3 Tbsp butter, unsalted
  • 1 1/4 cup fresh scallions, tops & bulb, chopped
  • 4 lrg raw egg
  • 2 cup ricotta cheese, whole milk
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 0 1/2 cup gruyere cheese, shredded
  • 0 1/4 cup fresh dill weed, sprigs
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 0 3/8 tsp table salt
  • 0 1/8 tsp black pepper, ground
  • 16 oz frozen cauliflower, 1" pieces
  • 2 oz parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 0 1/4 cup almond flour, super finely ground, gluten free
  • 0 1/2 tsp garlic powder

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch by 9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add scallions and sauté until white bulb portions are beginning to turn golden, about 7 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine eggs, ricotta, ¾ cup chopped parsley, gruyere,1 ½ tablespoons chopped dill, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, ¼ teaspoon salt, and pepper until well mixed. Squeeze as much water out of the thawed cauliflower using a clean kitchen towel as possible and add to the bowl. Add the cooked scallions and fold everything together until evenly distributed. Pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
  4. In a small bowl, combine shredded parmesan cheese, almond flour, remaining ¼ cup chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped dill, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, garlic powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt until evenly distributed. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the cauliflower.
  5. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until top is browned and kugel is set. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing into 9 even squares and serving while warm. One square as described is one serving.

Cooking Tip

This low carb casserole is a great adaptation of traditional savory noodle kugel. To make sure the kugel sets, you want to be sure to get as much water out of the thawed cauliflower as possible. We suggest using a clean kitchen towel to squeeze the cauliflower and really get the liquid out. Then just be sure to evenly distribute in the egg and ricotta combination.
