Where to find ingredients
Look for cauliflower, ham, mozzarella, margarine, onion, cream cheese, table cream, and salt at the fresh produce section, deli counter, dairy aisle, and seasonings shelf of local supermarkets or neighborhood grocery shops. If cream cheese is hard to find, substitute with a mild spreadable cream cheese-style product, keeping the original ingredient as the ideal option.

- Cut each roll in half and arrange it between the cauliflower florets, filling the gaps.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the margarine over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden.
- Add the creamy requeijão and mix well.
- Stir in the table cream and heat the mixture without letting it boil.
- Season with salt to taste.
