Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the cauliflower head into small florets and steam them until they are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain well and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the heavy cream and cream cheese, stirring constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine the flavors.
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the sauce, stirring until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Place the steamed cauliflower florets into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish.
Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, making sure all pieces are well coated.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the cauliflower and sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it stand for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
