For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality cheddar cheese sauce or adding a sprinkle of Gruyere cheese before baking. Feel free to customize the vegetables! Broccoli florets, chopped onions, or sliced mushrooms would also be delicious additions. If you prefer a slightly charred or caramelized top, open the foil packet during the last 5 minutes of baking. Ensure the foil packet is tightly sealed to trap steam and cook the cauliflower evenly. Adjust the amount of cheese sauce according to your preference. For a lighter dish, use less sauce.
