This is a great recipe for a light and healthy meal. I love that it's made with cauliflower, which is a good source of vitamins and minerals.

I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower, but this custard was actually really good! The cauliflower flavor was subtle and the custard was creamy and smooth.

The custard was too runny for my liking. I think I'll cook it for a little longer next time.

This custard was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more cheese next time.

This is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I added some chopped ham and peas to mine, and it was delicious.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this dish. I'm not usually a fan of cauliflower, but the custard was so smooth and flavorful that I couldn't resist.

This cauliflower custard was a hit with my family! It was creamy, cheesy, and had a lovely cauliflower flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
