I’ve been wanting to make a cauliflower cheese pie for a few weeks now. Cauliflower was on sale this week so I bought a large head in hopes of finally making this vegetable dish. My husband is not real fond of cauliflower, but I thought if I could disguise it with some cheese he might eat it. Then last week I saw a recipe that used potatoes as a crust for a vegetable pie. We love potatoes so I thought I’d combine the two recipes and have a cauliflower cheese pie with the potato crust.
The first bite was hot, creamy, and cheesy with a crispy crust. I could taste the soft cauliflower in a cheese herb mixture baked in the crispy potato crust with a mound of cheese on top. The result was a great tasting vegetable dish. Even my husband enjoyed the flavors of this veggie cheese pie.
