When my mother (who was actually my paternal grand-mother) passed away in the 80's I found a few books of hers that none of my siblings wanted and to my delight I found a number of loose pages in an old gardening book of her recipes that I remember as a child. Here's one of them.
Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower
3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 pint white sauce (bechamel)
1/2 cup white breadcrumb (stale bread is best, to cover)
1 teaspoon paprika
Directions:
1. Cook the cauliflower in boiling salted water until just tender. Divide into small florets after draining.
2. Put a layer of florets in the bottom of a deep oven proof dish, then a layer of the sliced egg, cheese and white sauce.
3. Repeat until all the cauliflower is used.
4. Cover with a final layer of breadcrumbs, sprinkle with the paprika and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.
