• 1 large head cauliflower broken into bite-size pieces
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 ounces cream cheese
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar (divided)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375

Cook cauliflower in boiling water about 5 minutes, drain and dump into a greased casserole dish.

In a saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer then whisk in the Dijon, cream cheese and  1 1/2 cups cheddar. Stir until smooth and salt and pepper to taste. Pour over cauliflower and stir to combine. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar and bake until browned and bubbly – about 15 minutes. Serve with crushed parmesan crisps on top. For a main dish meal, add shaved ham or ham cubes.
