For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese makes a wonderful addition to this dish; sprinkle over the cauliflower just before serving. If you prefer a softer texture, steam the cauliflower for a few minutes longer. To elevate the dish further, brown the butter before adding the breadcrumbs. This will impart a nutty and rich flavor.
