And I just pour the cauliflower with the omelet mixture (in proportion to 1 egg, 50 ml of milk). It turns out very gentle and airy. For the crust, you can sprinkle with crumbs on top, and you can also add pumpkin, too, very tasty.
Answer: Tatiana, thanks for the advice!

Oh, our family recipe is somewhat similar. We just make zucchini, do not boil them beforehand, lay them in layers in circles, rub each layer with feta cheese, you can garlic, and then fill it with a chatterbox of a couple of eggs, sour cream, salt and pepper. True, now only I eat this. I'll try the cabbage too.
Answer: and I bake almost all vegetables like that. And the pasta too. Yesterday's pasta is not very appetizing. But if you put them in a mold, pour with sauce and bake, then this is a completely different song.

I love this casserole very much) the recipe is excellent! Only I never boil cabbage before baking for more than 2-3 minutes, especially broccoli - and 10 (!) Minutes is barbaric, because the casserole is baked for another 30 minutes. It is very easy to turn useful stuff into filler.
Answer: I used frozen. If you throw it into boiling water, then it takes 7-8 minutes until it re-boils. As a result, cabbage is cooked for the same 2-3 minutes. And with fresh, you are right, a few minutes are enough.

Oh, this is mine! Winter White cabbage with all the desire it is impossible simply, but colored and broccoli, as well as Brussels, I can easily even gnaw frozen))) I now write less often, because I have gone into recipes for montignac, but this casserole fits perfectly there, only the flour needs to be changed on barley or chickpea.
I am especially glad that my man does not recognize such types of cabbage even in puree soup)))
Answer: Masha, good luck with your diet! Although you are so beautiful :)

Ay, thanks! Side dishes and my problem too. No, theoretically there seem to be a lot of them, but in practice ... Alas! In my cookbook, the side dishes section is depressingly small, now I will replenish it.
Answer: here, too, theory and practice are at odds. I myself know that you need more vegetables in the diet, but cooking them so that everyone likes it is a very difficult task.
