For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of melted butter. Add a clove of minced garlic to the butter mixture for an extra layer of savory flavor. If you don't have Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, you can use plain breadcrumbs and add a pinch of dried oregano, basil, and thyme. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or a blend of cheeses would all be delicious. To add some protein, consider stirring in some cooked bacon or crumbled sausage before baking.

04 Step
Recipe View In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, Italian breadcrumbs, salt, and red pepper flakes. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cauliflower in the casserole dish. Top with the shredded Cheddar cheese.
06 Step
Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. (25 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the cheese to set slightly and prevents burning your mouth! (5 minutes)

Dec 7, 2024This is so easy to make, and it's always a hit at potlucks. I sometimes add a little bit of cream cheese to the butter mixture for extra creaminess.
