Where to find ingredients
Cauliflower, ham, and mozzarella cheese can be found in the produce and deli sections of most supermarkets. Margarine and onions are pantry staples available in any grocery store. Cream cheese spread and heavy cream are typically found in the dairy aisle. If you are looking for specific Brazilian ingredients like 'requeijão cremoso', check Latin or international food markets. Otherwise, a good quality, thick plain cream cheese can be substituted for 'requeijão cremoso' in a pinch.
Preparation method
- Cook the cauliflower in salted water until al dente
- Drain well and place in a greased baking dish approximately 11 inches in diameter
- Prepare the filling: roll one slice of ham with one slice of mozzarella cheese
- Cut each roll in half and distribute among the cauliflower florets, filling the spaces
- In a medium saucepan, melt the margarine over medium heat
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden
- Add the cream cheese spread and mix well
- Stir in the heavy cream and heat the mixture without letting it boil
- Season with salt to taste
- Pour the creamy sauce over the stuffed cauliflower
