Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
-
Steam the cauliflower until nice and tender (you don’t want it crunchy). Transfer to a 9 × 13-inch baking dish. Chop bigger cauli pieces smaller. Add the tuna, breaking up the flakes with a fork.
-
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and mushrooms (if using) and sauté until the onions are translucent. Add the cream cheese, salt, and pepper and stir until melted. Add the peas and combine well. Pour over the cauliflower and tuna and stir. Top with the grated cheese and crumbs (if using).
-
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling. (Alternatively, broil for a few minutes, being careful not to burn the top.)
