Directions
Step 1
Steam the cauliflower florets in a steamer or over boiling water for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a medium skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the steamed cauliflower to the skillet and mash it gently with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until it melts and combines with the cauliflower.
Step 5
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until it is fully melted and evenly incorporated.
Step 6
Season the mixture with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if using.
Step 8
Use the filling immediately or let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
