If you are not a big fan of the slight spiciness that that pepper-jack cheese lends to this recipe you can use other types of cheese instead. Some options that would be great include:

Nutrition
This recipe had a good flavor but after the allotted cooking time, the cauliflower was very mushy. My husband and I decided this woukd be perfect as a dip with pita chips.
I am sorry the cauliflower came out too mushy. How long did you cook it for?
Although, using it as a dip sounds good too!
