A friend makes cauliflower baked with queso fresco and roasted and skinned jalapenos which I have adapted into a souffle. I make my joy of cooking bechamel. I steam cauliflower until slightly softer than usual. I chop it finely with roasted and skinned jalapenos (to taste, of course). Come summer, I will serve this with a roasted corn salsa, and an avocado rich salad. I have also made this for christmas dinner and used gruyere and withheld the peppers. Everybody loved it.
