👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Prepare the rye bread: Spread the rye bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until crisp. Set aside.
💡 Profitipps: This step ensures the bread won't become too soggy in the casserole. - 2
Sauté the cauliflower: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cauliflower florets and caraway seeds. Cook until the cauliflower is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
💡 Profitipps: Don't overcook the cauliflower; it should still have a slight bite. - 3
Combine ingredients: Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the crisp rye bread cubes and the shredded cheese. Transfer this mixture to a greased 11x7-inch baking dish.
💡 Profitipps: Ensure the baking dish is well-greased to prevent sticking. - 4
Prepare the egg mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, beer, Dijon mustard, ground coriander, salt, and pepper until well combined.
💡 Profitipps: Using a lager or pilsner beer provides a subtle malty flavor without being overpowering. - 5
Assemble and bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the rye bread and cauliflower mixture in the baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
💡 Profitipps: Check for doneness by inserting a knife; it should come out clean. - 6
Rest and serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm.
💡 Profitipps: This casserole is delicious served on its own or with a side salad.
