We love Cauliflower au Gratin and must say it is one dish that is on the menu frequently. So it was a no brainer for me to give this recipe a shot as cheese sauce and crunchy breadcrumbs do win friends and influence people at our dinner table. Just wasn’t quite sure how they would take to the cauliflower being replaced by green vegetables.
Surprisingly it was enjoyed all which saddened me as I was hoping to take some for lunch tomorrow.
