Cheddar Cauliflower Cheese

It’s the 2020 Red Carpet Menu for Oscar®!
For Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, it’s Once Upon a Thyme in Cauliwood!

 

 

This year I’m sharing the silver screen with the fabulous Joe Becwar!

KitchAnnetteCheddarCauliCheese1Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was so much fun! It was a long film but moved right along! Quentin Tarantino is known for some crazy violence in his movies, but this one is delightfully tame in that regard. It’s my favorite of his to date! Margot Robbie again puts in a great performance. Brad Pitt is astounding – and not just for his t-shirtless body! Leonardo DiCaprio is a riot as the has-been-ish Rick Dalton.

Now, Rick Dalton is where this dish gets it’s inspiration. He was so “cheesy” and delicious that only the same would do. This Cheddar Cauliflower Cheese is a British delight, likely a way to get in those veggies in a most decadent way. This casserole is so darn yummy!

Rich and creamy, with the freshness of thyme, you’re going to devour this dish like you wish you could do to the dishes in the film! Ha!

 

Happy Oscars!
