Cauliflower and Cheese (Microwave)

 Laura (Illinois) says:
I'd give it a star or two because I did not realize how easily and beautifully cauliflower steamed in the microwave, but I did not "get" the mayo sauce. It tasted like nicely cooked veg with a glop 'o mayo on top.

My husband's family has been eating this dish for years. Not only is it delicious, the mustard gives it a good kick. The mayo/mustard helps the cheese stick to the cauliflower. Try dijon mustard for an even fuller flavor.

We always made this as above, but put waited to put the mayo/mustard on top 'til the end and stuck it under the broiler - Parmesan cheese on top too which gives a nice toasted, bubbly topping.

I prefer to add more cheese and powered mustard. Since I can not do the onions, I substitute a little garlic powder.
