- Half ladle vegetable broth

- extra virgin olive oil

Tools

- 1 Baking sheet

Preparation of the Cauliflower Puff Pastry
Wash the cauliflower and cut it into florets; then slice each floret thinly.
In a pan, put a few tablespoons of oil, a pinch of chili pepper, a peeled and halved clove of garlic, and an anchovy fillet.
Sauté until the anchovy is completely dissolved, then add the sliced cauliflower, a pinch of salt, and half a ladle of hot broth.
Cook for about ten minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
At the end of cooking, add some chopped parsley, turn off the heat, and let it cool. The cauliflower should be cooked but still crunchy.
Unroll the puff pastry disc, keeping it on the parchment paper provided in the package, and place it inside a shallow baking sheet. Prick the bottom with a fork and sprinkle it with breadcrumbs.
Then evenly distribute the cauliflower: I suggest placing the broken pieces underneath during cooking and leaving the intact slices visible. This is purely for aesthetic reasons.
Grate the fontina cheese into julienne strips using a large-holed grater, and spread it over the cauliflower, filling any remaining gaps.
Finally, sprinkle grated cheese over the entire surface and fold the puff pastry edge inward.
Bake the cauliflower puff pastry in a preheated static oven at 356°F for about 35 minutes or until the surface is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy! Paola
