Instructions: The textures and flavor combinations in this dish make it a favorite: the baked cauliflower is coated with a golden crust of sharp cheddar cheese, underneath which is a lemon mayonnaise that is a creamy complement between the mild cauliflower and the sharp cheese.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Steam the whole head of cauliflower for 15 minutes, until barely done. Cool slightly. Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice and zest, mustard, pepper and tarragon. Spread mayonnaise mixture over cauliflower.

Pat cheese onto mayonnaise-coated head of cauliflower and bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Cool for a few minutes to let cheese set, and slice into 6 wedges.
