Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower head

  • 1/2 cup cheese cheddar, shredded and mild
  • 1/2 cup Swiss cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

  • Preheat oven to 450° F.
  • Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with olive oil spray.
  • While oven is heating up, cut the head of cauliflower into small florets and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Place cauliflower in the heated oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes stir the cauliflower (being sure to flip the florets) and place back in the oven for another 15 minutes.
  • While cauliflower is cooking, grease an 8 x 8 baking dish.
  • Once cauliflower is finished, transfer it to the prepared 8 x 8 baking dish. Set oven to 375° F.

  • Pour on top of cauliflower and mix.
  • Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Once finished, let cool slightly, serve, and enjoy!
