Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 head cauliflower, cored & broken into medium florets
1 1/2 cups American cheese, grated or 1 1/2 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup mayonnaise
1 -2 teaspoon yellow mustard, to taste (I use French's)

Steps:

  • Rinse, core, and section into medium sized florets. Arrange florets on a steamer insert and place in a pan so that water barely reaches the bottom of the steamer. Steam 5-10 minutes until tender/crisp - not mushy. Remove cauliflower in steamer basket and set aside until time to serve. (This can be done even a day ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.).
  • Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, cheese, and mustard together in a bowl. (Refrigerate if you are not using right away.).
  • Just before serving, arrange florets in a microwavable bowl or casserole dish, and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes to reheat cauliflower. Top with cheese mixture, and microwave on high for 2-4 minutes more - until mixture melts on top the cauliflower but not until it scorches or runs off into the dish. Serve immediately.
  • This recipe halves nicely: 1/2 head of cauliflower florets, 3/4 cup shredded cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and 1/2-1 teaspoon mustard. Or, make the whole amount, but frost 2 halves of recipe in 2 dishes to be served 2 days in a row. (I would not try to freeze this recipe as it might end up runny.).

EASY, ELEGANT CAULIFLOWER (FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE CAULIFLOWER!)



Easy, Elegant Cauliflower (For People Who Hate Cauliflower!) image

I have never liked cauliflower unless it was drowning in processed cheese sauce - and even then I didn't like it much). HOWEVER...I found this Kraft recipe and it's so easy, pretty and - yes - tasty! My kids scarfed it down! Make sure to double the sauce/cheese portion. The bright orange of the cheddar cheese creates a very nice presentation for company and holidays. The ratio of mayo-to-mustard is a suggestion, so start with the mayo and add a little of the Dijon, mix and taste until it tastes the way you prefer. And you can sub yellow mustard if your kids like it better. Whatever gets them to eat cauliflower!

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 head cauliflower (rinsed and drained)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup mayonnaise (not salad dressing)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or yellow)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Cut cauliflower into 8 to 12 large floret pieces, discarding the core. (If you cut pieces small, decrease cook time). Place florets in microwaveable casserole dish. Add the water; cover. Microwave on HIGH for 10 minutes. (Be sure to not let the cauliflower overcook to mushy-ness). Drain. Return cauliflower to same dish.
  • Hint: cook cauliflower evenly by placing the larger pieces to the outside of the dish.
  • Mix the mayo and mustard. Spread over the cauliflower; sprinkle with the cheese.
  • Microwave on HIGH 1 to 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
