Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the dish
Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish, or add 2 tablespoons of water to the bottom to help prevent sticking.
Par-cook the cauliflower
Simmer the cauliflower florets in a small amount of water for 5–7 minutes, keeping them slightly firm. Drain well.
Layer the base
Spread the cauliflower in the baking dish. Arrange tomato slices over the top, then season evenly with salt and black pepper.
Add cheese and butter
Sprinkle Parmesan first, then scatter the Swiss-style cheese. Dot the surface with small pieces of unsalted butter.
Bake until melted
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden. If the top browns too fast, loosely cover with foil near the end.
Rest and serve
Let it sit for 5 minutes so it slices neatly. Serve warm, optionally with a simple salad on the side.
