Steps

2hr

1

Cut the cauliflower into florets, boil until tender, and salt to taste. Once cooked, drain and let cool. Meanwhile, cut the scamorza into cubes, reserving 5 or 6 thin slices to layer on top of the first layer in the baking pan.
2

When the cauliflower is cool, place it in a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the eggs, cornstarch, grated cheese, cubed scamorza, diced cooked ham, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix everything together by hand until you have a uniform mixture.
3

Grease a 9- or 10-inch round baking pan and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Spread half of the cauliflower mixture in the pan. Layer the scamorza slices on top, then cover with the remaining mixture. Smooth the top.
4

Sprinkle with grated cheese and breadcrumbs, then bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown.
