Ingredients

  • 1 head large cauliflower
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp or 1 packet mustard

Directions

  • In a large pot add 1 - 2" hot water, place steamer basket and cauliflower. Steam for 10-15 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from heat.
  • In a medium baking dish, place steamed cauliflower, breaking pieces apart and making an even layer of cauliflower florets on the baking dish. Set aside. Start heating oven to 450° F (230° C).
  • In a medium mixing bowl place remaining ingredients, mix well with a spatula, add extra mayonnaise to make it somewhat spreadable. Spread cheese mixture evenly over cauliflower in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 15-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and at desired crispiness. Serve warm.
  • Notes: The cauliflower can be steamed ahead and chilled before adding cheese mixture. It can be further chilled and then cooked at the last minute.
