Vegetarian

Medium heads cauliflower

Extra Virgin Olive Oil,  Divided

Salt

Chopped shallot

Package baby spinach

Chopped Fresh Dill

Chopped Fresh Parsley

Clove garlic,  grated

Ground pepper

Part Skim Ricotta Cheese

Crumbled Feta Cheese

Arrange racks in middle and upper third of oven; preheat to 450 degrees f. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.

step 1

Remove any outer leaves from cauliflower, but keep stems intact. Place on a cutting board, stem-side down. Using a large chef's knife, cut two 1-inch-thick slices from the center of each head to make 4 cauliflower "steaks. " (reserve remaining cauliflower for another use.) place the steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with salt.

step 2

Roast, turning halfway through, until the cauliflower steaks are tender, 30 to 35 minutes.

step 3

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 1 minute. Add spinach in batches and cook, stirring, until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in dill, parsley, garlic and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Transfer the spinach mixture to a large mixing bowl. Stir in ricotta and feta.

step 4

Turn the broiler to high. Top each cauliflower steak with 1/2 cup of the spinach mixture and 2 tablespoons cheddar. Broil the cauliflower until the cheese melts and starts to lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
