Serves 4 as a snack or lunch
Prep time: 30 minutes + 40 minutes baking
Step-by-Step Instructions
Remove leaves and stem from the cauliflower, wash, and pat dry. Grate coarsely into rice-like grains using a grater or food processor. Blanch in lightly salted boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain well. Squeeze out excess moisture in a sieve or clean tea towel. Grate both cheeses and mix with the drained cauliflower. Beat in the eggs to form the base.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Spread the cauliflower mixture evenly on baking paper-lined tray. Bake for 25 minutes until firm and lightly golden. Meanwhile, slice spring onions into rings. Mix herbs with cream cheese; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove tray from oven. Spread herb cream cheese over the base, top with spring onions and ham or bacon. Return to oven for 10-15 minutes until golden, crispy, and bubbling. Serve hot immediately.
Enjoy your meal!
