Cauliflower Bites
The key to making these cauliflower bites is to get them into the oven as soon as they are shaped. I did not do that, hence the cheese 'leaking' out. That in no way detracted from the taste. Or from the fact that we devoured this entire batch for lunch. Head straight on to the … Continue reading Cauliflower Bites
