Amazing Cauliflower Souffle
Cheesy, fluffy, and packed with yumminess. I mashed the cooked cauliflower quite finely with some small chunks remained, which gave the fluffy souffle additional bites, and we really enjoyed and loved the combination.

almost 5 years agodelicious great recipe one can put more cauliflower.
over 3 years agoThank you so much for mentioning that one can add more cauliflower. I wondered what to do since my cauliflower was larger than 1 pound. I just tossed it all in anyway. Turned out great.
