Notes

Cauliflower: You can use frozen cauliflower in a pinch, but this recipe is at its very best when you use fresh cauliflower.  It’s available pretty much all the time in the produce section of your grocery store.

Cheddar Cheese: Cheddar comes in various flavor varieties from mild to extra sharp.  I like sharp cheddar for this recipe, but you can use any kind you like.  You can also shred it yourself or get the bag of pre-shredded cheddar in the dairy section of your supermarket.
