Za’atar Crusted Roasted Cauliflower Steaks


Cauliflower is known for its versatility, and this dish is a perfect vegetarian option. It’s so delicious that even habitual carnivores will insist on second helpings.

You read that right—everything bagels aren’t just vehicles for cream cheese and lox. Here, they’re repurposed for Friendsgiving, bringing with them their signature blend of pepper, salt, onions, and garlic. Chopped scallions add a dash of green, and eggs and cream make it just rich enough to complement the turkey.
