For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the butter while melting. You can also substitute half-and-half or cream for the milk for a richer texture.
If you don't have Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, you can make your own by mixing plain bread crumbs with dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
To ensure a smooth and creamy texture, make sure the cauliflower is thoroughly cooked before mashing.
