Cheese-Topped Cauliflower

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

The Cook & Kitchen Staff are offering you four different Thanksgiving
Day Dinner menus during November, and we're now in the middle of the
side dishes for our final recipe collection, featuring a
"Thanksgiving Day Dinner on the Farm."
Fresh cauliflower is naturally abundant this time of the year, as its
harvest peaks during October and November. Given that you're
celebrating a day of thanks historically rooted in the fall harvest,
this member of the cabbage family makes for a perfect addition to
your holiday feast.
In a large pot over a high-heat setting, place the rinsed and cleaned
whole head of cauliflower in just enough lightly salted water to
cover the head.
Bring the water to a boil and reduce the heat to medium. Cover and
cook until just tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook. It's
fine for the florets to be a bit firm, as the vegetable will continue
to cook for several minutes after it's lifted from the boiling water.
Remove from heat and drain well.
Place the cauliflower in a shallow baking dish. In a small bowl,
combine the salt, mayonnaise, mustard, and cheese. Spread the mixture
over the top of the cauliflower and bake at 325-F degrees for about
20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, but not yet browned.
Carefully remove the cauliflower from the baking dish and place whole
on a serving platter surrounded by fresh herbs or a ring of fresh
green peas, if so desired.
