- ⅓ cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 10 ounces cauliflower florets cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon water
- ½ (5.2 ounce) package spreadable Garlic & Herbs cheese (such as Boursin)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Combine Panko and oil to a small pan and toast while stirring until golden, around 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl to cool.
Microwave cauliflower florets and water in a bowl for 3 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Drain the water. Sprinkle florets with a little salt while still hot. In a separate bowl, microwave the spreadable cheese, cream, red pepper flakes, and ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper together for 1 minute. Stir together until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Pour over the cauliflower and toss to coat.
Transfer to a small baking dish and top with the bread crumbs. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until bubbly and hot. Let set for 5 minutes before serving.
