Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and stem, then chop the cauliflower into smaller florets.
Step 2
Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower has the texture of rice, working in batches if necessary. Be careful not to over-process.
Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves finely and chop the fresh parsley.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Cook while stirring frequently for 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, and add the cream cheese. Stir until melted and evenly mixed with the cauliflower.
Step 7
Gradually stir in the cheddar and parmesan cheese, followed by the heavy cream. Mix until the cheeses are completely melted and the mixture is creamy.
Step 8
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting according to taste.
Step 9
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm.
