Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower head into small florets and steam them until they are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain well and set aside.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the heavy cream and cream cheese, stirring constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine the flavors.

Step 5

Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the sauce, stirring until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Place the steamed cauliflower florets into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 7

Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, making sure all pieces are well coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the cauliflower and sauce.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it stand for a few minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
