- Add 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes.
- Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a greased 1-quart baking dish.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cauliflower.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
