Olive oil provides a healthier fat option.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add half a glass of milk and four pinches of salt.

Clean, cut, and wash the cauliflower.

Make a cross cut in the thickest part of the stem for even cooking.

Once the water is boiling, add the cauliflower and cook until tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes.

If using the oven, preheat it to 220°C (428°F).

Grate the selected melting cheese (caciocavallo) and chop the prosciutto cotto.

In a baking dish, place the cooked cauliflower, breaking it up slightly.

Add half a glass of water, a drizzle of olive oil, and the chopped prosciutto or leave it out for a vegetarian version.

Add the grated caciocavallo cheese and stale bread crumbs, followed by another drizzle of olive oil.

Bake for about 40 minutes until the top is golden and all the water has evaporated.
