2 ounces parmesan cheese, shredded, 1/2 cup
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste *
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons cold butter
Mix the cauliflower, melted butter, onion and cheeses in a greased 9x9" or 7x11" baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in the cream and dot with cold butter. Bake at 350º for 40-50 minutes until crusty and brown.

* I think that 1 teaspoon makes them a little bit too salty. I'd start with 1/2 or 3/4 teaspoon.

This came from a recipe that called for real hash brown potatoes. I substituted shredded cauliflower and cut back a bit on the butter since cauliflower wouldn't absorb as much liquid as potatoes. I think these would be nice for breakfast or a brunch. They remind me of hash brown patties with cheese.
