I first had this at my friend ,Mandy's home for dinner & I was totally bought over....The melted cheese over the softly-cooked cauliflower. Intertwined between is the creamy, rich white sauce. Sprinkled lightly with white breadcrumbs as the finishing touch, adds the crunch after the baking.....Just beautiful!!
