Prepare 100 g cauliflower, put it in a bowl, sprinkle it with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper and mix well.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Stage 4 - 20 min.

...and bake for 15-20 minutes.

And finish with 33 g cheese, which you will grate or cut into strips depending on what you have on hand (here 2 leftover cheeses, Comté and Brie).
