Ingredients
Method
Keeping cauliflower head intact, remove enough outer leaves and core to stand level.In large pot of boiling salted water, cook cauliflower until centre is tender when pierced with fork, about 11 minutes. Drain and let cool enough to handle. Pat dry and transfer to serving plate. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Using spoon, gently scoop out cauliflower from top to hollow out, leaving about 2-inch (5 cm) thick wall and base. Discard or reserve scooped cauliflower for another use.
In food processor, purée together Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise and cream cheese until smooth. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper; purée until combined. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours.)
To serve, scoop dip into cauliflower.
