Ingredients

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 tablespoons butter
0.5 cup milk
0.5 cup sour cream
1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for baking.
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook until they are tender, approximately 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly and set aside to steam dry.
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the cooked cauliflower, milk, and sour cream, ensuring everything is well combined.
Using a hand blender or potato masher, mash the cauliflower mixture directly in the pot until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a baking dish. Spread it evenly, then sprinkle bread crumbs over the top. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven until the bread crumbs are golden brown and the cauliflower is heated through, about 30 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!
