i created this Ham and cauliflower casserole au gratin On a January day a few years ago, I was craving low-carb comfort food. I had ham and cauliflower in my fridge, but the idea for Twice Baked Cauliflower gave me the idea for this casserole full of cauliflower that combines ham, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, parmesan, green onions and cheese. I want to eat it as a delicious low-sugar dinner on a cold winter night!

Of course I had to include this when I updated my collection of low carb and keto casseroles. One of the biggest reasons is how they guarantee leftovers.

And most low-carb casseroles, including this one, also freeze well. I love having dinner out of the freezer when I don’t feel like cooking. (You can use the Freezable category to find more dishes that freeze well.)

This low-carb casserole with ham and cauliflower is a blog favorite. If you haven’t made it yet, please do so!

What kind of ham should I use for this casserole?

If you want this recipe to be keto, be sure to choose ham without added sugar.

Can this recipe be made with frozen cauliflower?

To be honest, I’m not much of a fan of frozen veggies and prefer freshly cooked cauliflower for this. Whichever you use, drain the cauliflower well before assembling the casserole.

What if you’re not a fan of Greek yogurt?

If you don’t like the spicy taste of Greek yogurt, try using sour cream.

material

6 cups fresh cauliflower flowers, cut into very small pieces

1/2 teaspoon salt (water for boiling cauliflower)

2 cups diced ham

4 oz.softened cream cheese

3/4 cup Greek yogurt (see note)

2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

freshly ground black pepper to taste

3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese (see note)

instructions

Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
Fill a medium-sized saucepan halfway with water and add 1/2 tsp. salt, start boiling.
Separate the cauliflower into florets, removing the leaves and core.
Place the cauliflower pieces into the water and cook over low heat until the cauliflower is just starting to brown. Check often and do not overheat. Cauliflower will soften even more in the oven.
While the cauliflower is cooking, cut the ham into very small cubes and slice the scallions.
Place cream cheese in a glass dish or measuring cup and microwave for a few minutes to soften. (If you don’t have a microwave, you can also soften it in the preheated oven.
When the cauliflower is cooked enough to start to soften, pour it into a colander placed in the sink and let it drain well (at least 5 minutes, don’t rush this step).
Return the drained cauliflower to the pot where it was cooked and mash with a potato masher until most lumps are gone.
Stir in sauce mixture and mix well with cauliflower. Then gently mix in the diced ham.
Season with freshly ground black pepper. (I don’t use salt because the prosciutto and Parmesan cheese are salty.)
Spray a glass or dish casserole dish with nonstick spray or olive oil. (I used a glass casserole dish that is about 8 inches by 10 inches.) Pour cauliflower mixture into dish, spread evenly, and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned and all mixture is hot throughout and beginning to bubble. Let stand for 10 minutes for liquid to be absorbed, then serve hot.
I think this will freeze well, but I haven’t frozen it yet because I don’t have any leftovers.

Note

If you’re not a fan of Greek yogurt, you can also use sour cream. Yogurt is slightly lower in carbohydrates. As much cheese as you like!
