cauliflower cheese
Gratin with florets
Cauliflower cheese is a British dish of cauliflower baked in a cheese sauce, typically served as a side or a simple main course.
The cauliflower florets are first boiled or steamed, then covered in a thick cheese sauce—usually made with cheddar—and baked until golden and bubbling: Mum's cauliflower cheese was the best part of Sunday dinner.
