My university roommate thought I was insane when I told her this was my favourite way to eat cauliflower, but she tried it and started making it this way herself, too. Quantities of everything (including the cauliflower itself) are all sort of approximate, and can be varied to suit your taste/appetite.

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (Miracle Whip or whatever works fine too, if you prefer)
2 tablespoons mustard
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded or sliced

Steps:

Steam the cauliflower until just slightly underdone.
While the cauliflower is cooking, mix the mayonnaise and mustard together.
When the cauliflower is done, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish and spread the mustard-mayonnaise over it.

Microwave for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese melts.
Or, if whatever else you're cooking isn't done yet, you can just cover the cauliflower and lets its heat melt the cheese until you're ready to serve.

Tips:

Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and has tightly packed florets.

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces: This will help the cauliflower cook evenly.

Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the cauliflower enough room to cook without overcrowding.

Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help the cauliflower brown and caramelize.

Add the cauliflower to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender: This should take about 10 minutes.

Add the sauce ingredients and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld.

Serve the cauliflower immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot.
