This recipe is very good! We used 50% RF Cheddar and increased the sprigs of fresh thyme to 4-1/2 total. Think we could have done more thyme but we were happy with that!
1 tip: Stir the grated cheddar REALLY well after removing from the oven to evenly distribute it on the cauliflower.by Holly on 07/05/2012
