Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and cut the cauliflower into small bite-size pieces.
  2. Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat, about 8 minutes. Pour off any excess fat.
  3. Add the cauliflower, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook 5 minutes, until the cauliflower is just tender. Stir in the tomato paste and mustard and cook 1 minute more.
  4. Chop the pickles and stir them into the beef mixture. Spread it evenly in the baking dish.
  5. Whisk the eggs and heavy cream, stir in 1 cup of the cheddar, and pour over the beef. Top with the remaining cheddar.
  6. Bake 22 to 25 minutes, until the center is set and the cheese is golden. Rest 5 minutes.
  7. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and sesame seeds, then cut into 6 squares.
