Cauliflower stands in as the base while the bread serves as a crunchy garnish. Ingredients 1 head cauliflower (about 3 pounds), trimmed and cut into 1-inch slices ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, halved if large 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and cut into ¼-inch slices 2 slices rustic bread (each 1 inch thick), crusts removed, torn into small pieces (1 ½ cups) Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 5 ounces Gruyere or fontina (or a combination), thinly sliced Directions Preheat oven to 450 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Brush cauliflower on both sides with 4 tablespoons oil; spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss mushrooms with 3 tablespoons oil; spread on a second sheet. Toss bread with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season all with salt and pepper. Place cauliflower on top rack; roast 10 minutes. Add mushrooms on bottom rack; roast 15 minutes more. Flip cauliflower and mushrooms. Sprinkle bread over mushrooms; roast 10 minutes more. Remove from oven; transfer mushrooms and bread to sheet with cauliflower. Top with cheese; roast until melted and bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes more. Serve immediately. Rate it Print
