  Heat a large pan of water enough to hold the cauliflower head and add the salt. Trim the cauliflower of the green leaves and keep the stem intact. Bring the water to a boil and add the cauliflower head to the water upside down. Cook the cauliflower for about 10 minutes. Remove from the water and place in a baking dish, top side up.

  Remove the cauliflower from the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then pour the cheese over the top. Heat the broiler and add the cauliflower back to the oven about 6 inches from the heat. Cook until the cheese is browned and bubbly.
