I only used one teaspoon of salt and left out half the gruyere and it was still too salty. Otherwise very good!

This was delicious! Because I don’t eat meat, I substituted the prosciutto for caramelized onions, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. YUM! Thank you for sharing!

Italian mascarpone cheese and Gruyère cheese are really expensive for me to eat this on the regular. Are there any substitutes to these cheese that give this toast similar taste/texture?

I would say Ricotta or cream cheese for marscapone, but it won't have the same silky texture. For gruyere I would say swiss is doable or a harder sharper white cheese. Hope this helps, it is really is a good recipe.

Sour cream was an amazing g sub for macaroons, where I live, fancy cheeses are hard to find, ricotta and macaroons were not an option and cream cheese was too sweet for me for this purpose.

Very nice! I omitted the salt in the cauliflower-cheese mixture, and skipped the sea salt topping. With the cheese and prosciutto the toast are are definitely salty enough. I will make them again.

So indeed the leftovers made a great pasta dish! Cooked some rigatoni, added some leftover cubed chicken breast and a bit of heavy cream. Baked until hot and bubbly and served it with steamed broccoli because I was

Yum! The only thing I would question is the additional tsp of salt added to the mascarpone mixture considering the salt from the cauliflower, cheese and prosciutto. I made sourdough no knead bread that was perfect. Also used a bit of crème fraiche, cream cheese and mascarpone (using up dribs and drabs) and substituted sharp white cheddar for the Gruyere. Cooking for two so made a full batch of the cauliflower then half of it with the other ingredients. Didn't need all of that either, so now I have leftovers to play with!! I'm thinking pasta.

Really delicious! I didn't have gruyere and used white cheddar and skipped the prosciutto since I'm vegetarian. Would make again. would also be good cut into smaller pieces and served as an appetizer.

We had beautiful home made bagels. We sliced each into three toasts. Very delicious, but really dry. Need some creamier sauce. What could that be that is really easy? Whipping cream? Sour cream? Ideas please

I would add a little more mascarpone, and maybe stir in a little cream or sour cream, like you suggest...and because you are adding bland ingredients, bump up the flavorings in the recipe (pepper flakes, salt and pepper, nutmeg, and chives).

How about this topping on fresh pizza dough? Takes a little longer, but worth it, I think.
