What a mess!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I used less cream as suggested and it still turned into a soupy mess. This one doesn't work.

Great holiday side dish
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this for our Christmas dinner and everyone really enjoyed it. I did feel it was a bit soupy. Next time I will add more... cauliflower and possibly cut some of the cream. All in all a great recipe that I look forward to enjoying again!Read more

Excellent flavor but as reviewers note-- too soupy!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This dish was very good and it would have been better if I just did what I said I was going to do! I read the reviews and... knew that 2 cups of heavy cream was too much, that it would be too "liquidy". But the same thing happened to me that happened to Mary in Austin. I put in one cup of cream and it seemed to be absorbed after I thoroughly mixed it up, so I added in an additional 3/4 cup of the cream (which is still less than called for). Sure enough, the cream seemed to expand as it cooked in the oven and I ended up having to pour off the excess liquid. Even when pouring off the excess it had too much liquid. Loved the "cheesy-nish" of the dish but you need to reduce the heavy cream.Read more

EXCELLENT!! DON'T ALTER!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My sister and I made this and it was awesome!!! But don't alter too much. Because it is winter in Padre Island and good... fresh veggies are hard to come by, we used 2 - 16 oz bags of frozen cauliflower florets thawed/drained in a colander for 1-2 hrs. We took the cauliflower, mixed in 2 c of grated Monterey jack cheese, 7 oz canister of Kraft shredded parmesan cheese and salt/pepper to taste. Hand mix thoroughly, adding 2 c HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM. After all cream has been added arrange floret mixture in 9 x 12 baking dish. Drop 8 oz of goat cheese all over the top and back uncovered @ 375 for 40 minutes, let stand 10-15 min. IT WAS PERFECT!! NO "LIQUID PROBLEM" AT ALL!!! THANKS BOBBY!!Read more

Use half the cream!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Read the reviews before making so knew of the liquid problem. But after I mixed the cauliflower with the cheeses, 1c cream... seemed to just disappear. So, went ahead and added the 2nd cup. That was a mistake as I had to use a turkey baster to remove that 2nd cup as it cooked. I used freshly grated parmagiano reggiano, not powdered stuff. The dish was very good, the raw cauliflower cooked perfectly. I see no need to precook the cauliflower-just cut into individual flowerettes, don?t leave as big chunks. Made it for my family including 84 yo mother in small town WI, she never had goat cheese in her life and she loved it. This is phenomenal reheated as leftovers. Could easily see adding bacon pieces and/or chilies to kick it up. But as is, very simple, ultra easy to make and very good. Thanks Iron Chef!Read more
