Recipe View Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

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.
