- 1 head of yellow cauliflower, quartered
- 3 ounces prosciutto (see tofu option), pan fried to crisp then chopped
- 10 1 x 2 x 1/8 in slices of hard tofu (vegetarian option), pan fried 5 minutes per side in hot EVOO with garlic and Sriracha (just to darken edges)
- 1 medium sweet onion, small chopped
- 1 roasted red pepper (12 oz jar), patted dry and small chopped
- 3 tablespoons roasted mashed garlic
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1.5 cups parmesan cheese, shredded (or a 50:50 Parmesan: Asiago mixture)

- Place the cauliflower on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Drizzle with EVOO and roast at 450F for 20-25 minutes. Remove and cool to touch.
- Partially caramelize onions in EVOO and 2T butter in a shallow pan, then add the red pepper and complete cooking. Set aside.

- Chop the cauliflower (large) and line the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish, cover and blend with the cheese mixture.
- Cover with a layer of the onion and pepper mixture, then distribute the prosciutto over the top.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 0.5 c parmesan (or parmesan/asiago) cheese. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes.
