Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower by removing the leaves and cutting the cauliflower into florets. Rinse them thoroughly under cool water and drain.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with about 1 to 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil. Place the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket over the boiling water, cover the pot, and steam for about 10 minutes or until the cauliflower becomes tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the cream cheese and heavy cream, stirring until the cream cheese melts and combines with the cream to form a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Gradually add the cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until it melts and the sauce becomes thick and creamy.

Step 5

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the cheese sauce. Mix well to ensure even seasoning throughout the sauce.

Step 6

Place the steamed cauliflower florets in a large serving dish or bowl.

Step 7

Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, ensuring each floret is evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 8

Optional: Top with chopped chives for added flavor and a pop of color.

Step 9

Serve the Keto Cauliflower with Cheese Sauce immediately as a warm side dish.
