Garlic Crusted Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 lb cauliflower, cut into florets (about 3 to 4 cups)
• 4 garlic cloves
• 3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 1/2-2 tablespoons butter
• salt and black pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil with three of the garlic cloves (halve or slice them). Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain, setting aside the garlic cloves.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Very lightly grease a baking dish and place the cauliflower in the dish. Stir in one tablespoon of mayonnaise, coating all of the cauliflower thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Mince the 3 boiled garlic cloves; also mince the remaining 4th garlic clove. Combine dry breadcrumbs, garlic and olive oil; spread over the top of the cauliflower. Bake, uncovered, in a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes; take out, dot with the butter and return to the oven for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until cauliflower is done to your liking (I like mine tender but not mushy).
