Instructions
- Warm the oven to a moderate temperature ensuring even heat distribution.

- Cascade the aromatic sauce generously over the waiting cauliflower, ensuring each floret receives equal attention.

- Slide the dish into the preheated oven, allowing the cheese to melt and caramelize into a beautiful bronzed crust.
- Remove when the top transforms into a bubbling, enticing golden landscape, signaling its readiness to be savored.
Notes
- Microwave the cauliflower briefly to jumpstart the cooking process, ensuring a tender texture without overcooking.
- Use high-quality smoked cheddar and freshly grated Parmesan for maximum flavor depth and creamy consistency.
