Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups White cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the cauliflower well and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
Step 3
Gradually add the shredded white cheddar cheese and cream cheese to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 5
Add the cooked cauliflower florets to the cheese sauce and gently stir to coat all the florets in the sauce.
Step 6
Optional: Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and broil for 2-3 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
