MONASTERY CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE 
2 large heads of cauliflower or broccoli (you might need more or less depending on the size of the broccoli or cauliflower).
14 eggs
2 cups of grated cheese (cheese of your choice, although i usually use parmigiano)
salt and white pepper
crushed saltine crackers (or cheezits)

Cut away the inedible stalk from the cauliflower or broccoli. Then break them into pieces. Put in a pot with salted water and boil until they are very tender. Drain the cauliflower, and then put it into a bowl and mash it. (You should have about four cups of mashed cauliflower.) Then add in salt and a dash of white pepper according to your taste.

Add the cheese and mash together with cauliflower. Then crack all the eggs in a separate bowl and beat them. Then add the egg mixture to the bowl with the mashed cauliflower and stir very well. Pour into a greased casserole dish.

Bake in a preheated oven at about 190°F (about 210°C). Make sure it doesn’t burn. Depending on how your oven behaves, you might have to lower the temperature. Cook for about 20 or 30 minutes… Just check it every once in a while and when it looks cooked, take it out. Don’t use exact timing, because sometimes it takes more or less time. These cooking instructions are just general guidelines.

Once it is done, just sever it as is, or you can cut it into squares (carefully remove it from casserole dish) and serve it on a large platter. If you want to be fancy, Hollandaise sauce would probably go very well on top.

I halved this recipe and just cauliflower it turned out great, however the cooking time is way off! It cooked it at what it said and noting happened, then took it up to 375°F for another 20 minutes so the egg was cooked.
