    • Stir in the sour cream and water. Simmer for a few minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  3. Assemble and Bake:

    • In a baking dish, place the fried cauliflower steaks.
    • Top each cauliflower steak generously with the mushroom mixture.
    • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the mushroom-topped cauliflower steaks.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving:
