Recipe View Steam the cauliflower florets until tender-crisp. You can do this in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 8-10 minutes, or by microwaving with a splash of water for 5-7 minutes. The cauliflower should be easily pierced with a fork, but not mushy. (10 minutes)

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)

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.

    This 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.

  • Rolando Oberbrunner

    I used a combination of cheddar and Gruyere cheese, and it was incredible!

  • Demetris Sengermclaughlin

    The panko breadcrumbs make all the difference! This casserole is so crispy and delicious.

  • Madaline Kozey

    My kids actually ate their vegetables! I omitted the red pepper flakes to make it more kid-friendly.

  • Stone Block

    I never thought I'd like cauliflower casserole, but this recipe is amazing! The red pepper flakes give it a nice kick.
