Description
I used to often cook cauliflower in an egg, frying it in a frying pan. And recently, while the “Summer Frying Pan” was baking with new potatoes, zucchini and cauliflower, all under chicken breasts in sour cream, I got the idea to bake the leftover cauliflower in the oven! It turned out soooo delicious - with a minimal set of ingredients and simplicity of the recipe - that I decided to purposefully repeat it. Help yourself to delicious cauliflower baked with egg and sour cream!
This cabbage turns out to be much more dietary than fried cabbage; she is so gentle and beautiful in her own right. Although you can complicate and vary the recipe by adding other vegetables - zucchini or bell peppers, for example; Or maybe cheese or chicken breast. But simply baked cauliflower in sour cream is an excellent dish!
You can also cook broccoli cabbage in the same way - an emerald green and also very healthy and tasty cauliflower subspecies.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium-sized cauliflower inflorescence;
- 1 egg;
- 150 ml sour cream;
- 1/3 teaspoon salt;
- 0.5 tablespoon of sunflower oil.
Instructions:
Rinse the inflorescence and separate it into pieces. Boil salted water in a saucepan and put the inflorescences in boiling water, let them boil under the lid for 5 minutes. Boil cauliflower, like broccoli or green beans, so that the vegetables turn out soft.
Then we put the cabbage in a colander so that the water and inflorescences cool a little.
Meanwhile, grease the baking dish with sunflower oil, and beat the egg in a separate plate. Add a little salt, maybe a little pepper.
Dump the cabbage into the egg and mix - carefully so as not to break the inflorescences, but carefully so as to dip them in the egg on all sides. 
Place the cabbage in a mold and use a spoon to pour sour cream on top.
Bake the cauliflower in the oven at 180C for about 20-30 minutes until the inflorescences become soft and slightly browned. The exact time depends on the features of your oven, so check it periodically! And next to the form you can put something else to bake, for example, chicken chops - it will be an addition to the side dish! Or cupcakes :) Or
Cauliflower itself doesn't offer much flavor, but if you prepare it correctly using additional ingredients, this recipe can become your favorite.

Therefore, cabbage “flowers” must first be boiled by filling with salted water. Only after this can you assemble the casserole in the mold.
The required components of the dish are an egg and cheese, which you can use in any way. The main thing is that it melts easily. You will also need a milk component to create an omelette base for baking. It could be milk, cream, sour cream.
