Cheesy Cauliflower Steaks

In my kitchen these cheesy cauliflower steaks have become a regular star. The way the tender cauliflower melts under layers of bubbling cheese creates something truly special. I love how quickly this dish comes together making it perfect for those nights when I want something delicious but don’t have hours to spend cooking.

Why You’ll Fall in Love

Every time I serve these steaks people can’t believe how satisfying they are. The cauliflower becomes so tender and with that blanket of melty cheese on top it’s pure comfort food magic. I’ve served these alongside everything from grilled chicken to vegetarian mains and they always steal the show.

What You’ll Need

• • Cauliflower: I grab two nice firm heads to get those perfect steaks. Don’t worry about the extra pieces they make amazing soup later.
  • Vegetable oil: Just a light neutral oil works best here.
  • Onion powder: This adds such lovely flavor without any chopping.

• • Salt & pepper: Season to your taste.
  • Parmesan: Spring for the good stuff here it makes all the difference.
  • Gruyère cheese: My favorite for melting but cheddar works beautifully too.

• Chives: Fresh from my garden for that perfect finish.

Let’s Get Cooking

Getting Started

First get your oven nice and hot at 400°F. I line my baking sheet with parchment and sprinkle it with parmesan it creates this amazing crispy base.

Prep Your Steaks

Cut those beautiful thick slices and brush them with my seasoned oil mixture. Each one gets plenty of love.

The Magic Happens

After about 20 minutes they’re tender then comes the best part adding that gorgeous cheese and watching it turn golden.

Time to Serve

A sprinkle of fresh chives and they’re ready to brighten up any plate.

Perfect Pairings

I love serving these alongside fluffy quinoa or a bright fresh salad. Sometimes I whip up a quick romesco sauce which adds beautiful color and flavor. They’re absolutely perfect next to a juicy grilled steak or chicken breast too.
