This is my all-time favorite side dish veggie. My mom made it one day when I was little and I was hooked! The tangy flavors played against the salty cheese take normal, boring cauliflower to a whole new level.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Steam cauliflower in the microwave or on a stovetop steamer until fork tender. While cauliflower is steaming, mix mayonnaise/sour cream with onion and mustard. Mix cooked cauliflower with sauce and pour into a greased 9×11 inch casserole. Sprinkle with cheese and bake just until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
Give to picky children and watch them enjoy!

Tasty and delicious. Thanks.
Works better with the mayo; sourcream gets grainy and isn’t as flavorful.

Loved this dish, made it with sour cream, but while making it I did a couple of modifications. I caramelized the onions (don’t like the taste of uncooked or partially cooked onions), used a combination of gruyere and parmezan cheeses instead of the cheddar, and baked the dish for 15 minutes instead of 5 minutes. Turned out delicious. Yum.

we love this! My mom always made it whole. We put the mayo right on the head and then covered it with cheese. I think I like it better all cut up. After eating it whole for so long didn’t really think about cutting it up. duh!

My mom used to make this when we were kids…It is where I acquired my love of cauliflower. Sher recipe used Dijon mustard, just to kick it up a notch! YUM!

These were really good. I had to look up how to steam the cauliflower. I didn’t think to drain off any excess water before adding the mayo/mustard mixture so mine was a little runny. I dipped my chicken in the runny part and it was good, so maybe next time I’ll leave it that way on purpose as a sauce for chicken.
I didn’t like the way the sauce smelled, kind of a turn off and it lingered for a day or so – yuck. Next time I’ll try it with the sour cream instead of the mayo.
Boyfriend loved it. Always a plus. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
