Where to find ingredients
Cauliflower is widely available in the produce section of most supermarkets. Milk, all-purpose flour, egg yolks, butter, grated Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs are standard pantry staples found in any grocery store. Salt is also readily available. Specialty ingredients like specific types of cheese or flour can be found in larger supermarkets, import stores, or specialty food shops. For a close substitution for Parmesan, a good quality hard, aged cheese like Pecorino Romano or even a sharp cheddar can be used, though the flavor profile will differ slightly.
