Scatter the shredded cheese evenly over casserole. Scatter breadcrumbs evenly over cheese. Bake until browned and bubbling, about 30 minutes.
Cauliflower Purée
Add cauliflower to a large pot, preferably a Dutch oven, and add enough water to cover. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until cauliflower is fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Return cauliflower to pot. Add butter and blend. Add half the milk or cream and blend. Purée with an immersion blender or in a traditional blender. Add more milk or cream, blending constantly, until desired texture is reached.
Season with salt and pepper and serve.
