Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a baking dish. Spread evenly and sprinkle the Italian-seasoned bread crumbs over the top, ensuring an even coating. Add a final sprinkle of salt and pepper. (5 minutes)
06 Step

30 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the bread crumbs are lightly browned and the cauliflower is heated through, about 30 minutes. (30 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the butter while melting. You can also substitute half-and-half or cream for the milk for a richer texture.
If you don't have Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, you can make your own by mixing plain bread crumbs with dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
To ensure a smooth and creamy texture, make sure the cauliflower is thoroughly cooked before mashing.
