So if it's Thursday it must be cauliflower.  SWMBO bought a gorgeous, large head at the farmers market and it deserved special treatment.

I've done this Pure Wow recipe in the oven and thought it was a candidate for the Egg.  90 min indirect at 400*.

Bottom line: still crunchy in the middle.  Next time either lower temp and longer, or same temp and raised indirect for less time.

What was spread on top?

Never done this. Looks good though.  
We like making cauliflower rice with florets. Could probably do it after egging it too.

that's my new way of doing it, too!  I cheat and use Bolt House ranch yogurt dressing with some DP curry-ish.  YUM!

Chip - how do you do it (direct/indirect, temp) and how do you test for doneness?

Season the head...cover in ranch dressing...then hit it with more seasoning and chili pepper flakes and indirect till it is nicely colored...awesome and easy.

As far as doneness...its ready to eat raw so it all depends how you like it...indirect in a pie plate for at least 1/2 hour...probe it until you like the level of crispy/softness.

I typically do it along with spatchcock chix or hens, something that takes an hour. Do it direct but away from the hot coals. About 400 dome for an hour. Veg always comes out just right!

We cook them a lot. Best to steam them first them smoke.

Here's one that came out pretty good

it's not egged, but have you tried cauliflower mash?? steam it and then put through the food processor with a bit of butter and some baby bell garlic cheese until it has the consistency of mashed potatoes. Very yummy.  I suppose you could egg it then process it

I did south beach diet years ago and tried this.  Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. It ain't mashed taters. I do love roasted cauliflower though. Every tongue is different!

Wait!  I missed that you added cheese...  THAT would change my mind!
