  • Introduce the cauliflower and broccoli florets to the garlic and butter, sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
  • Pour in heavy cream and add salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and nutmeg. Stir to combine and simmer for a few minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
  • Fold the cooked sausage back into the mixture and stir to combine.
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and transfer the mixture into it, spreading evenly.
  • Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs over the top.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.
  • Let it rest for about 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley and serving.
