Golden Cauliflower Skillet with Melted Brie, Garlic Butter Drizzle & Herb Crunch

Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 6 oz (170g) brie cheese, sliced (rind on)

Garlic Butter Drizzle:

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

Herb Crunch:

• 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower florets, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is golden brown and tender with crispy edges.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Arrange brie slices over the cauliflower, cover the skillet, and let melt for 2–3 minutes until soft and creamy.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a small pan over low heat. Add garlic and cook gently for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat.

In another small pan, heat olive oil and toast panko breadcrumbs until golden and crisp. Stir in chopped herbs and remove from heat.

Drizzle garlic butter over the melted brie cauliflower and finish with the herb crunch. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.
