Cut the steaks
Starting with the first head of cauliflower, trim off the bottom of the stem but keep the core intact. Place the cauliflower stem-side down on the chopping board. Cut the cauliflower in half down the middle. With your knife parallel to that first cut, slice the cauliflower halves into 1"-thick steaks. Repeat with the second head of cauliflower, trying to get at least 2 intact steaks from each head. You should have 4 steaks total. Save any smaller florets that do not connect to the steaks for another purpose.

Make the coatings

Bread the steaks
Working one at a time, dip the steaks into the egg mixture, turning them and using a spoon or pastry brush to ensure as much as the steak is coated as possible. Lift the steaks out of the egg mixture and allow excess to drip away, then dip in the seasoned bread crumbs, flipping the steaks and patting the crumbs into the cauliflower to help them adhere. Lay the cauliflower steaks in a single layer on the prepared pan.

Spray the steaks
Lightly spray the steaks with nonstick cooking spray. This will help the breading brown.
Start roasting the cauliflower
Place the pan on the middle shelf of the oven. Roast the steaks 20 minutes, until the cauliflower tops are lightly browned. June will notify you when to flip the steaks.
Flip the steaks
When June notifies you, remove the pan from the oven and set it on a cooling rack. With a flip spatula, flip each steak. Use the button below to keep the oven hot.

Continue cooking the steaks
Place the pan on the middle shelf of the June Oven. Roast the steaks 15 more minutes, until the cauliflower tops are lightly browned. June will notify you when to top the steaks.
Top the steaks
When June notifies you, remove the pan from the oven and set it on a cooling rack. Spoon the sauce over the steaks, dividing and spreading it to roughly top the steaks, then sprinkle the cheese evenly over the sauce.
1½ cups marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella
Broil the cheese
Return the pan to the middle shelf of the oven. Broil the steaks about 2 minutes more, until the cheese has melted and is browning. June will notify you when the steaks are ready. If desired, follow on-screen instructions to continue cooking.
Finish and serve
Remove the pan from the oven and set it on a cooling rack. Transfer the steaks to plates or a platter and sprinkle with basil before serving hot.
