Cauliflower Fromage
"My father-in-law's all time favourite vegetable. I have to make it just about every time they come for dinner. You can make this ahead of time and pop it in the oven just before you need it."

Really liked this. I followed this recipe exactly because it didn't have anything that needed changing. We love cauliflower in cheese and this is a good one! -
Delicious! I upped the amount of breadcrumbs a bit because I like the crunch. Yum! -
I totally loved this dish! I made as written except used cheddar cheese as that was all I had on hand. My husband really liked it too and he is not big on cauliflower. This is going in my book of "favourites". Thx bert! -
I liked the taste of this dish, but I would prefer it to be creamier. It was sort of dry, not enough liquid. I used cheddar, maybe the swiss would have been creamier?? The texture wasn't what I thought it would be -
This was great! My 4 year old even ate it. :) I doubled the topping and I am glad I did, so thanks to the other posters who suggested that as well. This was delicious, Bert...thanks!

I love to cook and so I am thrilled that I found recipezaar. I work as an educational assistant in a food school so I am around food all day long. I have four children, three of which have already flown the coop so to speak but I still have my 'baby' at home. (He's 21). I am lucky in that I have my summers off so I spend a lot of time trying new recipes and catching up on my reading. I also play soccer in a ladies league to stay in shape.
