      Ususally I am not fond of cauliflower but this was a good recipe. Everyone enjoyed it. DH said that if his mother had made cauliflower like this when he was a kid he would have been willing to eat it all the time. :) I will be making this again.

      I made this for my family and we had mixed reviews over it. Let me start out by saying, we all ate it, none got left on our plates. Ok, DH and I loved it, we liked the mustard flavor on each bite. But, on the same note, that is what the kids didn't really care for. They like mustard just not on cauliflower. So, I gave four stars because it was that one aspect that turned the kids off, but as I said earlier, they ate what was on their plates. I will make again for DH and I though. I thought it was great, yummy. Thank you for sharing with us.

      I've been making this cauliflower for years, w/a few changes. Cut cauliflower into bite size pieces, add 1/4 Cup water and microwave on high for 4 minutes, stir then another 3 to 4 minutes. drain well. I keep nothing but Miracle Whip, about 1/4 cup w/1 or 2 tsps of Yellow Mustard stirred into Miracle Whip. Spread over top of cauliflower and Top w/1/2 cup of grated cheddar. Microwave until cheese melts.

      Love it !!! Very easy to prepare and very tasty. Puts a new twist on plain steamed Cauliflower. Will use this recipe again and again. Will probably try Fat Free Mayo in attempt to cut back on some of the fat. Thanks !!!

      Loved, loved, loved it! We love cauliflower any way we can get it, and this is now one of my favorite ways to prepare. Especially as it is quick! Thnx for sharing your recipe, Gina.

      I am a cauliflower hater and I enjoyed this dish a lot. I do not like to microwave my food so I steamed the cauliflower and then melted the cheese in the oven. It was excellent.

      Very good and very easy. Next time, I will cut back on the time the cauliflower steams in the microwave.

      Wow! I too would recommend using a bit less mayo and double the mustard. I also sprinkled lightly with celery salt before mixing. All in all, another keeper.

      Perhaps I cut my florets too small, but probably 7 minutes of steaming would have been better than 10, as the cauliflower turned out to be way overcooked. I also found the mayonnaise overwhelming. My preference for the future would be to use half the amount of mayonnaise or less.

      Wow! We love this recipe and think of it as a main course. Sometimes it is hard to decide which we like best, a T-Bone or this cauliflower. I also agree that a bit more Dijon mustard makes this special.

      Lovely recipe! Cook times and ingredients are spot on, my medium whole-head of cauliflower was done al dente (the way we like it) in the time stated. I did reduce the amount of Dijon a wee bit due to personal preference, otherwise followed the recipe to a T. Made for Easy Does It in the photos forum. Thanks Gina, will make again.

      I make this recipe with regular medium cheddar cheese and regular mustard. I have to make two for my family of 4 because my son eats almost a whole head by himself. For a beautiful presentation leave the heads whole, smear with mayo/mustard top with cheese and then put in a dish with fresh cooked green beans around the two heads! Real show stopper for the holidays!

      My kids love this cauliflower! I steamed it stove top to cook evenly and finished it in oven while other dishes finished. This was a big hit at out Easter dinner.

      I made this with dinner tonite- also made a Tyler Florence lemon Chicken dish- I have to say I LOVED this! both of my boys ate is and everyone else as well! I did change the recipe though because I needed a side tonite for dinner, I had on hand I had a bag of steam in the bag cauliflower in the freezer, so I was looking for a recipe to make with cauliflower. I found this at the top of the list and because it said it was kid friendly I decided to give it a go, seemed too easy to pass by! Anyhoo- i made it, the cauliflower was garlic flavored, I stuck the bag in the mic and cooked it the way the bag read. then I mixed it with the mayo and mustard and put it in a casserole dish topping it with a cheddar/jack shredded mix I had and I also poured a little bit of Italian bread crumbs on top as well, to soak up any extra oil that may come from the cheese. i threw it in the oven with my meal (350º for about 30 mins) I have to say, we all scarfed it down too! :-) NO LEFTOVERS!! We ate the whole bag!

      My version for an elegant dinner is to serve it whole. I utilized the same ingredients with these changes. I parboil the cauliflower whole with the stem removed in salted water, until fork tender. Drain and put in baking dish with the cheese mixture (mayo, mustard, and cheese mixed together) spread on top. Then put it under the broiler for a few minutes until cheese is bubbling and brown. Best served immediately. This makes an impressive presentation for your guests and is always a hit. Enjoy, Penelope

      This was really very good and so easy to make. I think next time I'll use a little more mustard and a little less mayo but that's just my taste. It made the melted cheese so easy to blend with the mayo combo and you really didn't any more than the 1/2 cup. Thanks, Gina, for a nice change. Elaine

      DH and I loved it but my kids didn't. I loved how easy it is to make and I have the ingredients on hand so it's a shame the kids didn't go for it. BTW, I steamed the cauliflower in the microwave for 9 minutes and drained the water and then followed the directions. It was very good! Thanks Gina!
