Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Steam the cauliflower florets in a steamer or over boiling water for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the steamed cauliflower to the skillet and mash it gently with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until it melts and combines with the cauliflower.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until it is fully melted and evenly incorporated.
Season the mixture with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if using.
Use the filling immediately or let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
