"THESE AREN'T POTATOES?" GARLIC CAULIFLOWER AU GRATIN
This is a great alternative to any potato side dish. Cauliflower has half the calories of potatoes and one-tenth the simple carbohydrates - so you can get your calories where you want to, from the cheese and butter! This recipe is so savory you just might prefer it to potatoes - my family certainly does. Have it with a salad and a nice steak. Like most of my recipes, this one feels a little tedious and plods along the first time you make it. However, it really is quite simple and so packed with flavor that you can't go wrong!

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Cut the cauliflower into even-sized pieces: This will help ensure that they cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor to cut the cauliflower into florets.
- Steam the cauliflower until tender: Steaming is a gentle cooking method that helps preserve the cauliflower's nutrients and flavor. You can steam the cauliflower in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water, or you can use a microwave steamer.
- Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use high-quality ingredients, such as fresh garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream.
- Top the cauliflower with bread crumbs: The bread crumbs add a nice crunchy texture to the dish. You can use panko bread crumbs or regular bread crumbs.
- Bake the casserole until golden brown: This will take about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the casserole so that it doesn't overcook.
