This is a delicious dish. Mmmm. . . nice and creamy :cursing:

Thank You.

Yum!! Sounds good!

I have a recipe that is similar. Also cook a chayote squash (green, shaped like a tear drop with a dimple in the bottom) along with the cauliflower. Mash and add the cream cheese or regular cream. bake in ramekins with gruyere cheese on top. It is also VERY yummy

Where can I get this squash. I was just out looking at squash and didn't notice this one?

I usually find them near the ethnic foods section, like near plantains and yucca root -- here's a pix at http://GourmetSleuth - Chayote.
