If you thought you didn't like cauliflower, try this! It's an awesome treat for a festive table. Beautiful presentation and something out of the ordinary.
Before making this recipe I read most of the reviews. Here is what I did to infuse flavor into the cauliflower. I cut the cauliflower into bite-size pieces and simmered it in chicken broth until tender crisp, drained it, then tossed the cauliflower with the bread crumb topping. I transfered the whole mixture to a buttered casserole. Drizzled with some extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of Locatelli Romano cheese. Positively DELICIOUS, everyone LOVED it, and no leftovers!
Read MoreI was a little disappointed in this. I read the prior reviews, and followed the frequent suggestion of brushing melted butter onto the cauliflower and then dredging it through the crumb mixture, rather than just mixing the butter in with the crumbs. However, even having done that, the crumbs didn't stick well. Maybe a light eggwash would help? Also, I steamed my cauliflower an extra 10 minutes and baked it an extra 5, but it was still a little tough. I might try this again, cutting it up instead of serving it whole -- but that does seem to defeat the purpose a bit!

Best cauliflower ever!!! I tested this out on just the 2 of us - cooking it whole - I was skeptical on how it would be to serve. TRY IT - it is really easy and I think will definitely be a conversation piece at the table. My guy looooved it! I followed recipe exactly except I took the suggestions of other submitters and brushed the butter on the caulifower and then added the dry crumbs mixed with seasonings. It adhered easily. When it comes out of the oven - just put it on a plate and serve it with a spoon - it is so tender. P.S. I steamed mine hrs. in advance and when the roast was almost done put on the final touches and popped it in the oven. This is a KEEPER!! Thanks submitter!
I have made this recipe twice and loved it! The first time I also had a little trouble getting the bread coating to stick to the sides. That was a little disappointing cause the presentation would be much improved with a nice, over all golden coating. The second time I made it I used a bar-b-que marinade brush and brushed melted butter over the entire head and THEN coated it. PROBLEM SOLVED! Great presentation! My husband LOVES it!!
I used the suggestion of another member and cut the cauliflower into pieces and then simmered it in chicken broth until tender. I then drained it, tossed it with the mixture and baked as directed. It was a HUGE hit! My husband ate all but the one serving that I ate at dinner tonight! Great recipe!!!
The secret to having cauliflower with flavor is steaming/simmering it in chicken broth. Then put it in the oven with the breadcrumb mixture. Yummmmmmmy!
This is the most delicious recipe I've ever tried. I took the advice of one of the reviewers, and cut the head into large pieces. I "steamed" it in the microwave. It was hard to get the mixture to stick, so on my second try (the head was big enough to make two "cookings")I melted the butter and drizzled it over the cauliflower. Then I mixed the remaining ingredients together & sprinkled them over before baking.This worked well and came out great. Thanks for the recipe!
This was beautiful and delicious. I chose to prepare this whole and it made a beautiful presentation (check out the photo I submitted). This is what I did to make it turn out really beautiful and coated all over: Steamed as directed in recipe. Then I mixed all the dry ingredients(no butter) in a large cereal bowl. I sprayed the steamed cauliflower head with cooking spray then placed it upside down in the cereal bowl mixture. I used a spoon to press the mixture around the rest of the head. I placed it back right side up on a pie pan and gave it another spray all over to help it get crispy then cooked as directed. Delicious and a little healthier from omitting the butter :-)
Hooray...I have found a new way to prepare cauliflower. My hubby and I love veggies, and cauliflower is at the top of our list. Steaming and stir-frying were getting old, but this is my favorite new way to prepare it. I absolutely love this. Can't say much for the kids. I don't think my four year old would even touch this if I drowned it in chocolate, but he's like that with everything. I too cut mine into florets and poured the butter over and sprinkled on the rest. I'm looking forward to making this one again. Thanks so much Ariela.
Loved this! I cut up & micro steamed the cauliflower (in a pampered chef micro steamer) which took minutes then baked it....YUM! I will next time drizzle the butter and then the bread crumbs as others have suggested, but the taste of the end result is ohh so yummy! Thanks Ariela!!
I served this dish for dinner tonight and we really enjoyed it:~)The flavor was excellent. I will however make a few changes next time as the crumb topping did not want to stay on the cauliflower head. If it's steamed a little more, the florettes pried open and the crumb mixture sprinkled inside as well as on top and use little more butter I think they should stick.
Although the cauliflower took a long time to steam, we really enjoyed this dish. Even the veggie-haters at our table were impressed.
Very good. I separated the cauliflower into florets, microwaved them for 8 minutes, and then coated w/the butter/breadcrumb mixture and cooked in the oven for about 15 minutes. The breadcrumb mixture was DELICIOUS and I'll use the recipe for other veggies. Yum!
I swayed just a tad from making this recipe as written. I was after a healthier version of fried cauliflower that I love so much and won't make because of the fat content. I mixed all the dry ingredients in a small bowl. I cut my cauliflower into bite size pieces and cooked for about 4 minutes until tender crisp. I then put the cauliflower in a Ziploc bag and added olive oil and tossed to coat. I added the dry ingredients to the bag and coated all the cauliflower. Baked until crispy, which took about 20-30 minutes. It was a very good alternative to the fried cauliflower. I will adjust the seasonings to my taste the next time. I did add more parmesan cheese to the top of the finished product (Yum). All in all this is a very easy and tasty way to make cauliflower.
GREAT side! Everyone asked "What is it?" and then loved it! Looked and tasted great! I only steamed for 15 min and next time I will try 10-12. I substituted a great Italian seasoning mix plus a few red pepper flakes for all herbs. I also mixed 2.5 tbsps soft butter into the topping and then gave the steamed cauliflower a good drizzle of olive oil before patting on the crust.
Great for the cauliflower lover. The topping was more like a dusting.. Did not "stick".
Like many of the other reviewers, I cut my cauliflower up into small florets first. I put into a pot and added a can of chicken broth. Covered and boiled for about 10 minutes - or until they were just tender, but not mushy. Stir occasionally to check the doneness. I used italian seasoned bread crumbs. I used closer to 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese (from a can). I probably added a bit more garlic powder. I used cayenne instead of red pepper flakes and left out the oregano. I probably also increased it to 1/2 - 1 tsp of salt also. I melted the butter and tossed everything together and put it in a pan to bake. After about 10 minutes in the oven, I stirred it to expose the other side of the cauliflower and then put back in for about 5 minutes. It needed just a bit more browing, so I stuck it under the broiler for a minute at the end. **I had a hard time imagining what this was going to taste like. I have to say the closest thing I can think of is maybe the breadsticks from CiCi's Pizza. They are soft, and you can really taste the italian seasoning, the garlic, and the parmesan. It was only on the larger florets that I even got much cauliflower taste at all.
I was a little disappointed in this. I read the prior reviews, and followed the frequent suggestion of brushing melted butter onto the cauliflower and then dredging it through the crumb mixture, rather than just mixing the butter in with the crumbs. However, even having done that, the crumbs didn't stick well. Maybe a light eggwash would help? Also, I steamed my cauliflower an extra 10 minutes and baked it an extra 5, but it was still a little tough. I might try this again, cutting it up instead of serving it whole -- but that does seem to defeat the purpose a bit!
This was good. I read the reviews regarding the breading not sticking and found that if you follow the recipe and add the melted butter to the breadcrumbs and mix thoroughly, then brush the cauliflower itself with melted butter, there is no problem with the breadcrumbs sticking as you will see from my picture. The biggest problem I had was getting the cauliflower steamed in the first place. It took more than 40 minutes to get it tender. Glad I started off a little early.
This was great!!! I made it for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. It was a bit hard to serve whole because we had dinner buffet style so we were holding plates and juggling food around but we managed. I followed the suggestion from other reviewers and steamed it before hand and placed it in the oven to bake right before it was served and I also buttered the cauliflower first and then added the seasoned bread crumbs. It really looked nice on a pretty serving plate, was innexpensive to make and I will definitely make it often.
We like cauliflower here, but this was so yummy! I used olive oil instead of butter a combination of the seasoned bread crumbs & some Panko & a bit more seasoning, as we are into spicy food here. I sprinkled shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top after I had mixed everything else together & it was in the baking dish. I did pre steam the florets in the micro in a steaming bag, as that cuts down dthe cooking time. A great dish thati will definetely be making again. Thanks, Ariela for a new recipe & I will be sharing it w/the neighbor who grew the cauliflower.
i modified this for my kids... left out the red pepper flakes and added about 1/2 of shredded cheddar cheese. i put the cheese on before the bread crumbs. they loved it!
Very quick and tasty way to fix cauliflower! Followed advice of other reviewers and cut head into pieces, precooked 3 minutes in microwave, tossed pieces with melted butter and topped with crumb mixture..but only used half (seemed to be an overly abundant amount of topping for the amount of cauliflower I had). Baked for approximately 20 minutes and it was fantastic. Will certainly make again.
I love this because it tastes great and makes a great presentation. I also like this with TONS of cayenne pepper for a real shocker!
this was pretty decent a nice change to the normal butter, salt and pepper. my kids liked it. I will probably make this again.
I thought this recipe was fantastic. I will serve it when entertaining guests. I probably will do it for Thanksgiving instead of the cauliflower w/cheese sauce that I usually make.
Let's just say I love this recipe and leave it at that! I've made this recipe 4-5x which is many times. I tried to cut the cauliflower into smaller pieces, but it's a bit messier. The more 'topping' the better and you will turn non-believers into cauliflower lovers!
My family is not cauliflower eaters, but we ended up with a head of it, so I tried this. It was a hit! everyone ate it - except the picky-two-year-old. I ended up using less margarine than called for and it was still good. Next time I think I will omit the red pepper, may help the 2-yr-old.
Nice presentation although I believe it would taste better if the cauliflower was cut up and the topping was sprinkled on top. I had trouble getting the topping to stick to the sides of the whole cauliflower. Instead of bread crumbs I used Pepperidge Farm stuffing. I will try again.
I did alter this recipe because I didn't have a steamer. I cut up the cauliflower, blanched, and continued cooking as is. Next time, I would love to see the final result of a whole baked cauliflower. It was tasty but my final product turned out too mushy.
Very good recipe, although I used 1 tsp of garlic powder for a large head of cauliflower, and I added 1/4 cup of olive oil (it was a big head!). There was none left over, and the aroma made the house smelled FANTASTIC!!!
I made two cauliflower recipes tonight. My husband picked this one as his favorite. I found it tough to get the crumbs to stick to hot cauliflower. I didn't read the recipe through when I saved it to realize you basically cook it on the stove and then bake it. My fault.
Made this and my hubby loved it! Since I didn't have anything to steam the caulifolwer I cut it up placed in a microwave safe bowl added 2 tblsp water, covered heat 3 min stir, heat another 3 min stir then covered with seasoning and baked.
I love this recipe! I could just eat this alone as a meal. The flavor is excellent. I have made this for several holiday dinners and it has always been a big hit. Even if you don't like cauliflower, you will probably like this. I did chop the cauliflower up into bite sized pieces in my casserole dish. Then sprinkled the bread crumb mixture over it.
So I made this tonight for dinner and I have to say it was delicious. I think it could have been better if I didn't add extra breadcrumbs and extra everything. I was starving while I was preparing and of course thought, "gee, if 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs is good, then 1 whole cup will be better. WRONG! I had two other sides and I really should have followed the directions exactly and kept it more of a dusting. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious, but also too much. The taste of the cauliflower was lost because of it. I'll definitely make this again, only this time I'll try not to be so over the top with all the ingredients. Oh, I also steamed pieces as opposed to the whole head. Had to use just water with some salt, because I didn't have chicken stock. Thanks for the great recipe!
I never cooked cauliflower before but this was a definite hit at my "Dinner with the Neighbors" night!
This was very easy to prepare and wonderful to eat. Cauliflower is a tough veggie to fix for my family but this was a hit...my husband asked me to take if from the table so he would stop munching on it.
On the whole, this was good and made an impressive presentation. But it needs to cook much longer than what is stated, as mine ended up being still rather raw in the middle. It would also need to be cooked at a slightly lower temp to keep it from burning. The other issue is that it's difficult to make the topping stick, especially on the sides, and it falls off easily when cutting. Even though you wouldn't get the "wow" factor with presentation, it would probably be easier to cut it up into florets, sprinkle the topping over it, and then cook. It will cook more evenly and you will get more of the topping in each bite.
We made this recipe as another reviewer had suggested. We simmered florettes in chicken broth, then covered with bread crumb mixture (shaken in a bag). My husband can't have dairy, so I put the cheese only on half. After baking, we also sprinkled with malt vinegar. It was very good. Definitely will make again! Thanks to the submitter and other reviewers!
I'm not really a cauliflower fan but this was easy to prepare & quite tasty. I cut back the butter to 1/2 and I used chicken broth as suggested. My family loved it too. I'll make this again.
My family loved this recipe, including my husband, who only eats broccoli raw with ranch dressing. I separated the head, poured the butter over the flowers, and then sprinkled the topping all over it. It was much easier to serve that way and everyone enjoyed it.
I made it exactly how the recipe reads and the taste was amazing but in order to make serving it easier I will cut the cauliflower into florets next time. Same flavor, less mess!
I would have given this four stars, except the 20-minute steaming time turned the head of cauliflower into mush. The topping was great, however, so next time I make this, I'll keep the steaming part of the recipe down to ten minutes.
I thought this recipe was great. I made it as written. Some of the topping didn't stick to the sides of the full head of cauliflower like some other people mentioned, but it really didn't matter. I just left it in the bottom of the cassarole dish. When it was time to serve the veggie, I just scooped out some of the topping too. It didn't taste any different than the cauliflower baked with the topping on it.
It seems like an awful lot of work and my family just thought it was mediocre, but we do enjoy just steaming our cauliflower and eating it with a little salt and pepper... we would rather just do that from now on but this was worth a try, I mean any decent recipe is worth trying at least once :)
Very tasty. Others are right, break into bite-sized pieces, drizzle with butter then combined bread crumbs and spices. Makes a great casserole.
Very easy and tasty recipe. I broke the cauliflower up into pieces and steamed it. I used Earth Balance margarine in place of butter. I put the steamed cauliflower in a casserole dish, and sprinkled the breadcrumbs on top and tossed everything together. It was a tasty dish and much healthier than one that uses cheese sauce. This will become a frequent way to prepare this dish. Thanks!!!
Very good! Crunchy cauliflower with bread crumbs, garlic powder, olive oil, parmesan and mozzarella cheese. I baked it in a silicon dish, which made the clean up much easier. Will try the same with broccoli, I guess itwill probably be as tasty. Thank you for sharing (:
I did rate this recipe five stars based on revisions, so if you are looking for a review of the recipe as is, skip this review. To be honest, I come on here to find recipes because I want to make something that tastes good, and if enough reviewers write that a recipe is too bland, spicy, not cooked right, etc. I'm not going to waste my previous time and resources to make a recipe "as is" just to have the opportunity to review it in it's original form - I'm here to make the best dish possible. That said, I followed the first reviewer's advice to cut up and precook the cauliflower in chicken broth, followed by baking at 375 in a buttered pan with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and olive oil. Since the cauliflower was as cooked as I needed it on the stove top, I really only left it in the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese and help the flavors set. This was definitely delicious and a keeper! Will make this again and again.
This turned out better than I had expected. I followed the recipe exactly just leaving out the red pepper flakes, because I do not care for them. I ended up having the cauliflower in the water for 30 minutes though, to get it tender all the way through. If I made it again I would more likely make my own seasoned bread crumbs, because the store bought ones are just really salty to me. I would also probably use a lite or whipped butter for personal reasons. After the cauliflower was baked, I realized that it had to be served out of the pan because it got a little messy when cut into. Much of the bread crumbs fall into the pan when it is cut. I would even suggest using half the bread crumbs as most of them do fall off. I did like the concept of cooking the whole cauliflower at one time though.
Yummy! I'm not a cauliflower fan, but I thought this was delicious. My preschooler ate it up and my husband went back for seconds. I was disappointed there weren't any leftovers. Thanks for the great recipe!
My husband liked this, but overall I thought eating raw cauliflower would have had more flavor.
Excellent way to eat cauliflower!!! I did the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. The only thing that I changed, is a garlic clove instead the garlic powder. Thank you for this nice recipe.
Delicious! I made the whole process easier by microwaving the cauliflower for 8 minutes (with a bit of water in the bowl). To make it healthier, I cut up the cauliflower into large pieces and placed them on a roasting pan. I sprayed them with canola oil PAM and sprinkled them with the bread crumb mixture (in which I omitted all of the butter). Tasted great!
For those of who love cauliflower it was fantastic. We loved it. I have made it twice before and just realized I had never rated it. My grandson reqested this last night so I'm making it for supper.
Yum! I used this recipe as a guide. I used two cauliflower heads, cut into florets and stems and steamed for a few minutes. Then I put them in a 9X13 baking dish, covered with sour cream, and sprinkled the parm cheese, bread crumbs, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes. I didn't use any butter or margarine. This is how we like it.... it's like a savory pudding. :) Tasty.
Pretty good! I used my rice steamer to steam the cauliflower. Love the bread crumbs. Used Progresso Italilan bread crumbs and omitted the oregano. Will fix again
I steamed this for closer to 30 minutes, but it was a pretty big head of cauliflower. Brushed it with melted butter, then patted the seasoned crumb mixture over it, then baked. Really a fabulous looking presentation, and yummy -- even my cauliflower-hating daughter liked it!
I kind of took advice from a bunch of reviews, that's what I love about allrecipes. I steamed it in chicken broth, boiled it cut up for 10 minutes and added mayonnaise and dijon to the bread crumb mix. Then, I brushed butter on the top of the cauliflower, but I probably wouldn't do that again. I had to pat the mixture with my hands because there was no way it was just going to spread. WOW! my son has no idea he had vegetables...
I made this for my daughter and I last night. We ate the whole head! It was so good. I had some trouble getting the crumbs to stick but I waited until the head had cooled and used my hands and pressed the mixture into the head. I'm sure we will be eating this often.
This was very yummy. I used cauliflowerettes and steamed it in my microwave. I used Italian seasoned breadcrumbs and skipped the oregano and red pepper flakes, put every thing in a bowl and just tossed together, then baked it in a 9X13 dish. Husband really liked it I will make again
Make a mixture of mayo and mustard. 3 to 1 depending on size of head of cauliflower, it'a an eyeball, taste thing. More mayo and a touch of mustard, like devil eggs. After you steam, spread with the mayo/mustard and proceed with recipe. There will be no leftovers.
Had a similar dish at a 5-start restaurant in Chicago several years ago, and have been looking for a good recipe. THIS IS IT! However, I used butter, not margarine, one large clove minced fresh garlic instead of the garlic powder, and omitted the salt. The Kraft grated cheese I used gave it enough salty flavor. I basted the steamed cauliflower head with the garlic butter, then used the remainder of the butter to mix all the other ingredients together before pressing onto the cauliflower head. I think next time I will steam it for only 10 minutes, since I don't like it so mushy. Also, I used a quiche baker to help dry out some of the liquid from the steaming. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
good recipe, I used some of the suggestions other people had like braking up the caulifower before steaming and increased the bread crumb mixture and garlic.
Good recipe, very easy. I had no parm used it all up the night before. used shredded cheddar cheese instead. brushed with butter first. added bread crumbs and then sprinkled with the cheddar. It was great. can't wait to try with parm
This recipe offers a nice alternative to your traditional steamed cauliflower, but I would cut the cauliflower into smaller pieces and prepare in a shallow dish so every bite has some topping on it.
I followed others suggestions and broke up the cauliflower. It was GREAT !! I've made it four times in the last month. Even my kids (10 and 14) who are pretty pickey eaters liked it. I even tried mixed veggies (frozen bag) one time and everyone liked that too. So it's a hit and stored in my recipe box.
Very well liked by my husband and myself. A keeper for our household.
Lol.. my kids walked into the kitchen and saw this big thing I had just pulled from the oven and said "Mom, What's THAT???" They love their cauliflower, and boy did they inhale it. After they finished, they all ran up to the stove to see if there were any "seconds"... but it was already gone. I steamed mine in the microwave, and it turned out great. Had a little trouble getting the crumb mixture to stick to the surface, just had to work with it a little. I served it as a side to the "Easy Caramelized Onion Pork Chops" recipe on this site. It made a very nice family meal.
This recipe has a lot of potential. Five stars for presentation, three and a half for flavor. I steamed the cauliflower in broth made with a lot of chicken granules and that seemed to help with the blandness but not enough. I also doubled all the spices in the bread crumb mixture but it still needed more. Like others, I brushed the butter on first then packed the topping on and drizzled the butter that was left over top. Next time, I'll season the butter with extra garlic powder, black pepper, and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. It needs something to liven it up, not make it spicy.
This had a wonderful flavor. I took the suggestion of another reviewer & poured on the butter before patting on the crumb mixture, and it stayed really well. DELICIOUS!
I made this the way others suggested by chopping up the cauliflower etc. My bf is vegan so I used veg. broth to simmer it in and didn't use cheese on his half. Honestly, I think it was equally yummy on both halves, so don't be afraid to make this without it. The butter and breadcrumb mix gives it plenty of flavor.
Wonderful flavor & I hate cauliflower. It now is a house favorite and specifically requested. I also brush w/butter and then pat on seasoned crumbs. It always brings Oohs and Ahhs when brought to the table even when they've seen and smelled it being prepared. Simple,Healthy and Good tasting = Absolute winner in Veggie category
Bread crumbs definitely didn't stick to the cauliflower. Second time around, I cut up the cauliflower before steaming, placed in baking dish, added bread crumb mixture and topped off with shredded mozzarella, provolone, asiago, parmesan, romano and fontina (Thanks to Sargento).
Excellent! We really liked this recipe! You'll want to turn down the cauliflower to low heat while steaming - if you leave it at medium heat you'll have mush - and it won't take 20 minutes - you'll have to watch it! Used more garlic than it called for. The bread crumb mixture is a wet mixture, which makes it easy to pat or spoon onto the cauliflower. To help the bread crumbs stick, we took some butter and melted it on the top and then used our hands and placed the crumbs onto the head of cauliflower, patting down slightly. They stuck well! Very tasty, and was delicious! Sprinkled lightly with parmesan before serving! (I used wheat-free bread crumbs and you couldn't tell!)
YUM! Great for when you're just a little bored with plain ol cauliflower. My 5 year old asked for another helping.
Wow, this was great. Took another's suggestion and cut into smaller pieces & steamed with 1/4 chicken broth. Put in ziplock & dredged with olive oil then put in the dry mixture & baked for 20 - 30 minutes. It was FABULOUS! Thanks for sharing!
This was a nice way to prepare cauliflower. No one in my family cares for cauliflower so I am always on the lookout for a new way to make it. I cut the head into small peices and mixed that and all the other ingredients in a large bowl, then baked as directed. Gave each bite a good amount of coating. Will make again!
This was very good. I couldn't get enough of it. We had it with turkey wings, and it went well. For ease of preparation and serving, I cut it into chunks. We added more cheese and plain dry breadcrumbs, and a bit of dried basil. Any seasoning you like can be added in, really. I just wish it wasn't so soggy. A crispier crust would've been nicer, but it was still delish.
You wouldn't think something so simple would be so amazing! The only thing that I changed, on the advice of others, was that I cut the cauliflower up. Thank you!
This topping is delicious. I did substitute saltine cracker crumbs for the bread crumbs, but otherwise I made this as written. I prepared this crumb topping to go on a Romanesco broccoli that was in our CSA box. I should have steamed the broccoli longer (it was huge) because it was quite under-done...even though the topping was brown...but it was very good nonetheless. Thanks for the recipe.
I'm really not a fan of cauliflower, but I thought this was pretty good considering that fact.
This was Great! I made a few changes. I cut the cauliflower up into large pieces before I steamed it, substituted 2 tablespoons of olive for the margarine and mixed it before placing it in a baking dish sprayed with vegetable spray. I also left out the red pepper so my kids would eat it and boy did they ever. This will be a staple in our house.
I too brushed the butter directly on the cauliflower. We don't particulary care that much for cauliflower, but WOW we loved it this way. This is definitely "a keeper".
I made this for Thanksgiving and it got raves! My mother was skeptical when I told her I was making it but couldn't stop eating it! I like cooking it whole but I had a hard time getting the mix to stick on the cauliflower, maybe next time I'll make it a little more moist. Otherwise it was perfect as is!
This was pretty good. I liked the ease of just throwing the whole thing in the oven instead of cutting it all up. I did coat mine with olive oil instead of butter.
So Delicious and perfect for a holiday table. I've been trying to come up with the perfect veggie side dish to bring for Thanksgiving. This is the winner! I DID NOT cut up the cauliflower. It's so pretty whole and if you stand it up in the right size bowl, it's lovely on the table. You have to really press the breadcrumbs mixture into the cauliflower and get it into all the crevices. I think it falls off when the cauliflower is not properly steamed. It needs to steam a long time-but be careful it doesn't get soggy. Yum! Thank you.
As written, this recipe needed more seasoning. Otherwise, it was a chance to try something a little different.
Loved it and easy to make. Great for people who are not big fans of cauliflower.
Very good, a pleasant change from Cauliflower with cheese sauce. I broke the cauliflower into florets before steaming. I used freshly grated parmesan and might add a little more next time. Thanks for the great recipe.
I overcooked the cauliflower when I steamed them and had to wait for oven space. I did not have sesame oil. The end result was mushy but nice tasting.
This was good, but the topping was a little tricky. It was hard to get the breadcrumb topping to stick. I think next time I will break the head into pieces and sprinkle the topping over it.
