I really loved this dish! DH really dislikes cauliflower so I made it while he is out of town. I am pretty sure he will love it with all the flavors, cheese, garlic & wine. Thank you!

Delicious! Hard to believe this is a weight watcher recipe. All the flavors come through. Like that the garlic is not roasting in oven with cauliflower as I find that is when you get burnt garlic. Used apple smoked gruyere and subbed in apple juice for wine. Cauliflower done in 20 minutes but it really depends upon size of florets. Served with ham. Next I would stir cauliflower half way through. Thank you Northwest Gal for sharing.
