For a more intense flavor, try roasting the cauliflower florets in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes before adding the sauce and cheese. Add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the Dijon sauce for extra depth of flavor. Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack, to customize the flavor profile. If you prefer a creamier sauce, add a tablespoon or two of heavy cream or sour cream to the mayonnaise and Dijon mixture. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
