Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Break the cauliflower into small florets. Place them in a pot, cover with water, add a good pinch of salt, and boil for a few minutes until slightly tender.
- Drain the cauliflower thoroughly.
- Finely chop the onion. In a bowl, combine the chopped onion, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and two-thirds of the grated cheddar cheese.
- Add the drained cauliflower and the canned mussels to the cheese mixture. Stir everything together until well combined, then transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
- Serve the casserole warm alongside a fresh salad of leafy greens dressed with olive oil.
💡 Tips
- Ensure mussels are well-drained to avoid a watery casserole.
- You can add a pinch of smoked paprika to the cheese mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
