Cauliflower With Herbed Crumb Topping

Submitted by Oolala

"From a magazine but no idea which one. Recipe states: In this recipe, cauliflower florets are cooked in boiling water, then covered with flavored crumbs and finished in the oven. If the cauliflower has just been removed from the water and is still hot, 10 minutes in the oven and a few minutes under the broiler are sufficient. If, however, the cauliflower has been cooked ahead and then allowed to cool before the next step, increase the baking time to about 20 minutes before finishing the dish under the broiler."

We really liked this. It was crunchy and good. My only suggestion would be more topping and to season the cauliflower before putting it in the pan. We practically licked the pan clean, we love cauliflower.

The dish didn't have a lot of taste. It wasn't bad but not too flavorful.
