Frosted Cauliflower



When I first got a microwave oven (a very long time ago), I took some complimentary microwave cooking classes that came with the purchase.  This cauliflower dish was one of the featured recipes at those classes and has been a favorite through the years.
  • 1 medium head cauliflower
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or garlic salt)
  • 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
  1. Cut off leaves of cauliflower but leave the head whole.
  2. Cut a cone-shaped section from center core for more even cooking.
  3. Place cauliflower stem-side down in large casserole. Add water.
  4. Cover and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes. (It should be just tender). 
  5. Allow to stand for about 5 minutes.
  6. Combine mayo, sour cream, salt and mustard. 
  7. Place head of cauliflower on large serving plate and spread with sauce.
  8. Sprinkle with cheese.
  9. Microwave 1 minute or until sauce is hot and cheese is melted.
