A delightful twist on a classic cauliflower dish, enhanced with a cheesy topping for extra flavor.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a microwave-safe dish with a splash of water.
Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap to trap the steam for even cooking.
Microwave the cauliflower on high for about 8 minutes until tender.
Check the cauliflower halfway through to ensure it doesn't overcook.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped onion, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the steamed cauliflower.
Ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated for a consistent flavor.
Transfer the dish to an oven-safe baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a golden crust, broil the dish for an additional 2 minutes.
Serve the cheesy cauliflower bake warm as a side dish or a light main course.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
