Why this recipe works
Use the scooped-out flesh too
Two small kohlrabi make two light vegetable portions. The peeled bulbs weigh about 400 g together. One large bulb is not equivalent because it takes longer to cook.

Cook
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 170 °C. Fill tender shells and place in a shallow dish. Put any excess filling alongside. Grate Gouda over and bake about 15 minutes at 170 °C. Use a heatproof dish suitable for the appliance, leaving space around it for airflow. Do not preheat with loose paper.
