Notes
For faster draining, wrap the cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out moisture by hand. You will have to work in two or three batches.
A little moisture in the bottom of the casserole is normal! You just don't want a ton.
Remember to taste the mixture before you add the egg.
Some everything blends are saltier than others. Taste your brand before adding it to the casserole so you can judge how much or how little you want to use.
Try this with carrots instead of ham for a veggie packed side dish!
