Cauliflower Steak Recipe
I like this recipe because it’s easy to make and a versatile dish that pairs well with a variety of side dishes. A simple green salad, roasted vegetables, or grains are all good choices to round out the meal.
To make this delicious dish, start by slicing a head of cauliflower into thick “steaks.” Brush them with a bit of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast them in the oven until they turn beautifully golden brown. Spread a layer of dairy-free Boursin over the cauliflower then top with Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs and pop it back in the oven until lightly crisp and golden.
When the cauliflower steak au gratin is ready, bring it out of the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. The result is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures: the cauliflower steaks remain tender, the creamy Boursin layer provides richness, and the crispy crust adds a satisfying crunch.
