  5. Season the cheese sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and a pinch of garlic powder.
  7. Spread the steamed cauliflower in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the cauliflower.
  9. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese sauce.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
