Cheesy and Creamy Cauliflower Gratin

I was craving for homemade biscuits to go with the fried chicken I made this past Tuesday but I realized at the last minute that used the last bit of flour I had for drenching the chicken. So I decided at the last minute to finally do something with the head of cauliflower. Gratin seemed to be the easiest and fastest way to cook it.

Chop the cauliflower in florets. Discard the excess stalks and leaves.

Boil the cauliflower florets in water to 10 minutes.

While that boils, combine 1/2 cup (+ more) shredded cheese, 1 tbsp of brown mustard, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and 1/2 cup of sour cream. Sprinkle salt and pepper then stir the whole thing.

Drain the water off of the boiled cauliflower, put ‘em back into the pot, then dump the cheese mixture on top. Gently stir the whole thing together.

Transfer in a casserole dish, top with more shredded cheese. Bake it in the preheated oven of 355° for 25 minutes.

Looks good, doesn’t it?

It’s creamy, cheesy, and it made me forget about biscuits.

Quick Notes

Brown mustard is optional. It adds a bit of kick in the flavors so I think it’s better with it.
