Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

Followed the recipe precisely, easy to make. It tasted ok, just a bit bland. I will definitely make this again, but will add more S&P and ground mustard, and will probably add some garlic for sure!

I made only a half a batch because there are only 2 in household. I didn't any other changes and it was very good.

Excellent AND easy. I cubed some whole wheat toast for the croutons.

Excellent taste and everyone loved it. I made it in the microwave in a covered stone cooker due to conflicts with the oven and it turned out great.

Made this for dinner last night. I cut the recipe in half, added salt to the water when cooking the cauliflower and added a little extra salt and ground mustard to the sauce. It was delicious.

This was such a family hit at Easter, I plan to make it again soon. I used seasoned crushed croutons in place of the bread crumbs. Many of our children thought they were potatoes!
