When served as a side, it complements diverse menus, enhancing holiday feasts or weeknight dinners.

What kind of cheese works best?

Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are commonly used cheeses in cauliflower casserole. Cheddar brings a sharp tang, mozzarella adds creaminess, and Parmesan contributes a savory depth. These cheeses melt well and complement the flavors, enhancing the casserole’s overall taste and texture.
