Grown-Up Cauliflower And Cheese

• 1 large head cauliflower
• 1 ball burrata, about 7-8 oz.
• 2 anchovy fillets, rinsed
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 tablespoon cream
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 3 tablespoons panko
• kosher salt

1. Preheat the oven to 450.
2. Rinse the cauliflower and remove the leaves and stem. Cut in half through the core. Slice each half into thin slices. Place the slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and salt. Toss. Spread out so slices are in one layer
3. Roast the cauliflower in the lower third of the over for about 20-25 minutes, until golden and carmelized. I usually flip after 15 minutes
4. While the cauliflower is roasting, place a small fry pan over low heat. Add 1 TB olive oil, the cream, the anchovies and red pepper flakes. Let cook from 5 minutes, pressing on the anchovies with the back of a wooden spoon until they dissolve and infuse the cream and oil. Remove from heat and pour into a mini food processor.
5. Place the buratta in the processor as well. Add a pinch of salt. Process until blended, it will still be a bit chunky. Taste for seasoning.
6. Wipe out the small fry pan and return to low heat. Add 1 TB olive oil and the panko. Cook over low heat until the panko is golden.
7. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and turn on the broiler.
8. Push all the cauliflower together, so it is all up against each other. Spread the buratta mixture over the cauliflower and sprinkle with the panko.
9. Place the pan back in the oven, second rack slot from the top. Broil until the cheese is melted and golden.
