Creamed Cauliflower is a wonderfully creamy and cheesy side dish with a Parmesan/bread crumb topping. So rich and delicious!

Cauliflower is my vegetarian daughter’s favorite vegetable so I buy a head of it pretty much every time I go to the grocery store. She usually eats it raw or steams it and puts it in a stir-fry but I’ve been dying to make a hearty, creamy casserole-type dish with a crispy bread crumb topping.
 
This Creamed Cauliflower is really rich and decadent. Like the name suggests, it contains a lot of cream, but boy does cauliflower taste good in cream. Of course, it’s not likely that anything cooked in cream is going to taste bad, but I think cauliflower and cream are made for each other.
 

I added a cup of shredded cheddar cheese which I thought was just the right amount to give it some cheese flavor, but not make it the predominant flavor. On top, some buttery bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese for more flavor and a little texture contrast. And everyone wants to dig in when they see buttery breadcrumbs no matter what’s underneath them.
 
Since this casserole is so heavy, it’s a good one to serve for the holidays when you’re going all out anyways. Or serve it with something very light for a weeknight meal. I personally like a small little bowl of this with a big green salad.
