This Pepperoni Pizza Cauliflower Casserole recipe looks delicious, but right now I'm seriously restricting the amount of cheese, so I won't be making this any time soon. It calls for heavy cream, which you may want to substitute with whole milk and also cut back on the amount of cheese. When I make this, I will update this recipe to reflect my adjustments and I'll add my own photo.
Ingredients

For the Puree
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower
  • 2 Tbsp Heavy Cream
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 8 slices pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • salt and pepper
For the Casserole
  • 12 slices pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions

For the Puree
  1. Clean and trim the cauliflower, breaking it into medium sized pieces.
  2. Place in a microwave safe bowl with cream and butter.
  3. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 10 minutes.
  4. Stir to coat cauliflower with cream/butter mixture.
  5. Microwave for another six minutes on high (or until tender.)
  6. Remove from the microwave and put into a high speed blender or food processor along with the 8 slices of pepperoni and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.
  7. Puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Adjust the cream and butter to your preference for consistency. 
For the Casserole
  1. Spread the cauliflower puree into an 8 x 8 oven proof casserole dish.
  2. Cover with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and layer with pepperoni.
  3. Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes (or  microwave for 5 minutes).
  4. Serve hot.

This recipe comes from contributor Jennifer. She brought this to the potluck yesterday and as soon as I took a bite I realized I needed to take a photo. This recipe is easy to make and ingredients can be adapted to suit your taste and what's in your kitchen.
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
  • 12 large eggs
  • 16 oz cottage cheese
  • 8 oz Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 large white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
I cut up at least 2 ham steaks (bite size pieces) or you could use cooked sausage, bacon, turkey, chicken, etc. I also omit the spinach, and add corn and more mushrooms; you can add peppers, etc.
Make it your own!

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 °F.
Spray 9 x 13" pan with olive oil.
  1. Cook onion in olive oil until caramelized. Put aside.
  2. Add eggs to a large mixing bowl. Scramble eggs.
  3. Add cottage cheese, Swiss, cheddar, mushrooms, spinach and cooked onions.  Stir all ingredients together until well mixed.
  4. Pour egg mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 35 minutes.
  5. Serve warm.
Note: can be refrigerated and reheated.
