Ok, not fantastic. Too much cream in the original recipe. I might make it again using more montery jack cheese and crushed red pepper for more spice.

This meal was great and easy to make I made this with a butternut squash risotto and i was super satisfied! one thing i did just to spice this dish up was fried up some shrimp and crab meat and mixed it in with this dish the cauliflower just seemed a little plain, also i had to cook for close to 45 min at 400 before i got the thickness i was looking for in the cream but the goat cheese really has a woundefully different taste! my family loved this meal and i will be keeping this is my recipes!

I slightly modified the recipe by using only a soft goat cheese and a bechamel. I blanched the cauliflower as well. The short of the story is that it was a huge success. Christmas dinner 2010.

I agree with little2klizzard - there needs to be more cauliflower in this recipe, and less cream.

Made this for Christmas dinner. While my family loved it (and the tangy goat cheese was tasty, I wasn't bowled over. You do have to adjust some of the amounts and the timing. You do not need that much cream (just use enough to almost cover and you may want even more cheese. You will also have to cook for a longer period of time than the recipe states.

I would probably use a better cheese than the monterey jack as well - perhaps a comte or gruyere.

Okay, I cheated and had this dish at Bar Americain and I have never tasted anything so good. I could have eaten it as my entire dinner (even though my entree was fabulous.
Now, that I see the recipe is posted here I'll make it for company sometime, but will take some of the suggestion: more cauliflower and less cream.

PS Check out the recipe for the pumpkin soup. It's the best soup I've ever eaten and deserves to be featured on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate," as does the cauliflower-goat cheese gratin.

Delicious!
Personally though, I would add more cauliflower next time. For as much cheese and cream it, in my opinion, could have held more cauliflower. But very good.

Before you make this dish....I would suggest cutting down the cream to 1/4 cup (add more than this, and you will get the soupy mess on the bottom of the dish people complained about in other reviews, the Monterrey jack cheese to 6oz and the goat cheese to 6oz. I am basing these measurements on 1 head of cauliflower. Do not layer the ingredients, mix them all together!! Make sure the cauliflower isn't cut too big and cover it with tinfoil until the last 15 minutes or so. I add a little more Parmesan to the top at the very end and put the oven on broil for a few minutes to get it nice and brown on top. This is an amazing dish if cooked properly. I made it for Christmas and everyone loved it, it was gone in 5 minutes... no leftovers!

I really did not know that cauliflower could be this good! The goat cheese gives it a beautiful gourmet flavor. The recipe does need some minor adjustments, extra cauliflower and less cream, about 1
to 1 1/4 cups should do it.
