In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, heavy cream, seasonings, and cheese. Mix in the melted butter (make sure butter has cooled before adding it in).

I love this because it has no meat in it. It's nice now and then.

I made something similar, but instead of cream, I use milk and make a roux sauce with cheese. I'm always surprised that so many US recipes use onion powder and garlic powder. Is it more usual than using an onion and fresh garlic (which is what I would use instead)?

I do use the real thing. I love onion and garlic. And that sounds good with cheese sauce.

I really like cauliflower but I hate cream. Having said that cauliflower cheese is a food I really like but never eat because I am useless at making cheese sauce. Your recipe does sound easier.

That sounds very hearty and satisfying. Do the eggs tend to make it come out solid, or does the cheese/cream/egg mix stay as a thick sauce?
