- Sauté the Mushrooms:
- While the cauliflower is baking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned and tender, about 5–7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Top with Cheese and Mushrooms:
- Remove the cauliflower steaks from the oven and top each steak with a generous spoonful of sautéed mushrooms.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the mushrooms.
- Melt the Cheese:
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
