Really good! This was really good the whole family loved it! To make it simple I used a gluten free premade pie crust.

Easy and Delicious. Due to dietary preferences, I made this without the crust and only the cheese on the top half. It was still delicious! My husband really enjoyed it, as well!

While I’m not big on cauliflower I picked this recipe because my wife likes it. I was really surprised how well this turned out! It has a lot of flavor and everything about it turned out great.
