Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.

Cut the cauliflower into florets and blanch in boiling water for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain well and set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the cream cheese and whisk until smooth.

Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan. Stir constantly until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Season the cheese sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Adjust spices to taste.

Step 8

Place the cauliflower florets into a baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and the top starts to turn golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
