Notes

Cut cauliflower into small pieces so it cooks faster and browns better.
For extra crispiness, allow the cauliflower to sit undisturbed in the pan for a minute or two.
You can substitute bacon, turkey, or sausage for the ham if desired.
Pepper jack or mozzarella cheese can be used instead of cheddar for a different flavor.
