Low-Carb Ham and Cauliflower Casserole au Gratin.
I created this Ham and Cauliflower Casserole au Gratin on a January day a few years back when I wanted some low-carb comfort food. I had ham and cauliflower in the fridge, and thoughts of Low-Carb Twice Baked Cauliflower gave me the idea for this casserole with lots of cauliflower with ham, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, Parmesan, green onion, and cheese. I’d love this delicious low-carb dinner for a cold winter night!
Of course I had to include this one when I updated my collection of 20+ Delicious Low-Carb and Keto Casserole Recipes recipes. There’s not much I don’t love about low-carb casseroles, but one of the biggest reasons I love to make them is the way they guarantee leftovers. And most low-carb casseroles also freeze well, including this one. (Did you know there’s a recipe index page for things that Can Freeze? I love to pull dinner out of the freezer when I don’t want to cook!) This Low-Carb Ham and Cauliflower Casserole au Gratin has been wildly popular; hope you enjoy trying it if you haven’t made this one yet!
How to Make Ham and Cauliflower Casserole au Gratin:
(Scroll down for complete printable recipe with nutritional information.)
- You need at least 6 cups of cauliflower, cut into small pieces.
- Cook the cauliflower in boiling salted water until it’s just getting soft; don’t overcook.
- Drain the cooked cauliflower well (at least 5 minutes).
- While the cauliflower cooks, cut up two cups of ham.
- Soften cream cheese in the microwave for a minute or so, then mix in the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), Parmesan, and sliced green onions.
- Mash the cauliflower slightly (in the pan you cooked it in) then stir in the sauce mixture so it’s completely mixed with the cauliflower and gently mix in the ham.
- Season to taste with fresh-ground black pepper.
- Spray the baking dish with nonstick spray or olive oil, put the casserole mixture in in the dish, and sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and starting to brown and the mixture is hot throughout and starting to slightly bubble.
- Let sit about 10 minutes for any liquid in the dish to be absorbed, then serve hot and enjoy! This will keep in the fridge for a few days and reheats well.
Make it a Low-Carb Meal:
Low-Carb Ham and Cauliflower Casserole au Gratin would taste great with Peperoncini Chopped Salad, American Greek Salad, or Caesar Salad with Kale, Romaine, and Shaved Parmesan for a low-carb meal.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. He was very surprised that he liked it since it was cauliflower based. I used two-12oz bags of frozen cauliflower florets steamed well in the microwave (no salt) and mashed them fairly well. I also used 2 single serve containers of Chobani yogurt. This was absolutely delicious and we’ll definitely have it again when we have extra ham. Thank you so much for the tasty recipe!!
So glad you liked it, and good to know it worked well with frozen cauliflower too! Thanks for taking time to tell me.
THIS WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YUMMY! Thank you! will be saving in my dinner recipe collection! I just shared it with 3 others 🙂
So glad you liked it!
We made this today! We used diced pancetta because I didn’t have ham nor did I have the desire to cook ham! However- this was DELICIOUS! My husband told me to save this recipe which he only says if he really loves it. Thank for for a new staple in our kitchen!
So glad you liked it and I think pancetta sounds amazing in this!
