Cheesed Cauliflower

The following recipe has become a Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner staple in our home. It is from Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book (new in 1976).  I "borrowed" the cook book from my mom years ago and still love that I have it.

Remove leaves and trim base from 1 medium head cauliflower. Wash. Cook whole in boiling salted water 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Drain. Place on ungreased shallow baking pan. Sprinkle with salt. Mix ½ cup mayonnaise and 2 teaspoons prepared mustard; spread over cauliflower. Top with ¾ cup shredded sharp process cheese (we use medium or old cheddar instead of process cheese). Bake at 375˚ about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Note: we do not salt the water or sprinkle the cauliflower with salt since I am on a low sodium diet, and it still tastes great.
