What it is
Tender cauliflower florets baked in a rich, creamy cheese sauce, topped with more grated cheese and baked until golden and bubbling. A popular and comforting side dish in many South African homes and restaurants.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower, heavy cream, mature cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, black pepper, a pinch of mustard powder or nutmeg.
Optional tweaks

Watch out for
Flour or cornstarch thickeners in the cheese sauce, pre-made cheese sauces that contain sugar or starches.
