Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Parboil the cauliflower in salted water for about 10 minutes, keeping it crisp inside and firm enough on the outside that it does not crumble. Then separate it into florets.
Grease a baking dish with a little vegetable oil. In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
Add the cauliflower florets to the mixture and coat them thoroughly. Arrange them in the greased baking dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. For a more pronounced aroma, add a little more thyme on top if desired.
Finally, sprinkle the cauliflower with grated cheese and bake in an oven preheated to 220°C (425°F) until both the cheese and cauliflower are golden.

Tip: Gently coat the parboiled florets in the mixture, preferably using your hands or a spatula. Softer cauliflower can easily break and crumble when stirred with a spoon.
