Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large pan, heat corn oil over medium-high heat. Add finely chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Introduce minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

02

Step

Incorporate cauliflower florets; season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir and cook for 1 minute to ensure even coating and initial searing.

03

Step

Pour in Four Cheese Sauce and dry white wine; add 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to meld the flavors.

04

Step

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until cauliflower is almost tender, approximately 10 minutes, stirring periodically.

05

Step

Preheat broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

06

Step

Transfer cauliflower and tomato sauce mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring an even spread. Gently redistribute some of the tomato sauce over the cauliflower to ensure adequate coverage.

07

Step

Sprinkle finely grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the cauliflower, followed by a generous layer of freshly grated mozzarella cheese.

08

Step

Broil until cheese is bubbly and develops golden-brown spots, about 2 minutes. Exercise caution to prevent burning. Allow to rest for 3 minutes before transferring to a serving platter. Garnish with remaining fresh parsley.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce.
If you prefer a deeper golden-brown crust, broil for a slightly longer duration, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses to customize the flavor profile. Provolone or Fontina would be excellent additions.

    I was skeptical about broiling cauliflower, but it turned out amazing! The cheese was perfectly browned and the cauliflower was tender.
