Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Cauliflower and Carrot Casserole.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a large pot and fill it with about two inches of water.

3. Step 3

   Bring the water to a lively boil, then toss in the cauliflower florets and sliced carrots.

4. Step 4

   Let them cook for around seven minutes, or until they’re tender enough to be pierced with a fork.

5. Step 5

   Once they’re ready, drain the veggies well and transfer them into a 9x13 inch baking dish, creating a colorful base for your casserole.

6. Step 6

   Now, let’s whip up a delicious sauce while the veggies are cooking.

7. Step 7

   In a blender or food processor, combine the egg yolks, a pinch of salt, fresh lemon juice, and a splash of hot pepper sauce.

   Blend these ingredients together for a few seconds until they’re nicely mixed.
