Cauliflower with cheese is a refined and simple dish of Russian cuisine, combining the tenderness of cauliflower and the rich flavor of cheese. The history of the dish originates from the traditions of baking vegetables with dairy products popular in Russia. Boiled cauliflower becomes soft, retaining a slight sweetness, while baking with cheese and cream mixture gives it a golden crust and rich aroma. Provencal herbs add subtle notes of Mediterranean flavor. This dish is versatile - it can be served as a standalone meal for dinner or lunch or used as a side dish for meat and fish dishes. It is perfect for a cozy family gathering, warming with its rich taste and appetizing appearance.
