Ingredients

• 6 cups Cauliflower florets
• 2 cups Cooked ham, diced
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and blanch for 5 minutes until slightly tender. Drain well and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Add the blanched cauliflower, diced ham, and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated in the creamy mixture.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the casserole.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbling, and the topping is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
