Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the custard is set and lightly golden brown on top, about 30-35 minutes. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean. Serve hot and enjoy this sophisticated take on cauliflower.

For a richer flavor, consider using heavy cream instead of milk in the custard mixture.
A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking adds a delightful savory note.
Ensure the cauliflower is well-drained to prevent a watery custard.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as thyme or chives, to customize the flavor.
