For a deeper flavor, try browning the butter before dotting it over the cauliflower. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes adds a nice touch of heat. Experiment with different cheeses! Gruyere, cheddar, or a blend would all work well. To prevent the cauliflower from browning too much, tent it loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
