About

I am a lucky mom, both my boys loves cauliflower. It makes life so much easier when I don’t have to make separate meals for us and the boys. This Cauliflower Oreganata is so incredibly easy to make but is most definitely tasty and beautiful enough to serve to friends and family for the holidays! The breadcrumb topping is really what makes this so good; Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, grated pecorino romano for that cheesy salty bite, fresh parsley and of course oregano. If you were on the fence about cauliflower, do give this one a try, you just may become a fan.
