Chef tips
If the mixture feels too wet, add 1 to 2 extra tablespoons of breadcrumbs. For a softer texture for younger children, chop the cauliflower and corn very finely before mixing.
Substitutions
You can swap the mozzarella for Monterey Jack or another mild melting cheese. The corn can be replaced with finely chopped peas. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
