Meet the Cook: My mother gets the credit for this delicious dish, which is a mainstay at our house. It can be an appetizer or side dish...and is wonderful served with turkey, roast beef and ham. My husband, our teenage son, Daniel, and I live on a country acreage. I enjoy gardening and collecting cookbooks. -Sandra Furman-Krajewski, Amsterdam, New York

Ingredients

1 small head cauliflower, broken into florets (about 5 cups)
4 egg yolks

Good flavor, my family actually enjoyed this.

Now that does sound good and I'm not normally a big fan of cauliflower.

Delicious! I used 2 whole eggs, in place of 4 yolks, and had a fine result. My husband OF 40+ years said this tasted just like what his mom used to make!

Excellent, even my picky daughter ate them! I used Panko bread crumbs and the recipe came out great!

I love this recipe because even my turn-up-their-noses family members will eat cauliflower this way. Sometimes I add cayenne for those who like even their vegetables to be spicy hot.
