Preparation:

    Step 1
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter.
  • Step 2
  • Cook the cauliflower in boiling water until crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Step 3
  • In a large saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium heat. Stir in the dry mustard and a splash of hot sauce, along with salt and black pepper to taste. Turn off the heat, but don't let the milk boil, and stir in the pepper jack and goat cheese. Once the cheeses have melted and the mixture is smooth, add the cauliflower. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
