Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 head cauliflower
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup kraft mayo mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard
1/2 cup kraft shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • MIX mayo and mustard. Spread over cauliflower; sprinkle with cheese.
  • MICROWAVE on HIGH 1 to 2 minute or until cheese is melted.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no blemishes. A heavy head of cauliflower is a sign of freshness.
  • Prepare the cauliflower correctly: Cut the cauliflower into florets, then wash and dry them thoroughly. This will help the cauliflower to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyere are all good choices.
  • Don't overcook the cauliflower: Cauliflower is a delicate vegetable, so it's important to not overcook it. The cauliflower should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Serve the cauliflower immediately: Cauliflower is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the cauliflower is hot and cheesy.

Conclusion:
