Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower by removing the leaves and cutting the cauliflower into florets. Rinse them thoroughly under cool water and drain.
Fill a large pot with about 1 to 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil. Place the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket over the boiling water, cover the pot, and steam for about 10 minutes or until the cauliflower becomes tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the cream cheese and heavy cream, stirring until the cream cheese melts and combines with the cream to form a smooth mixture.
Gradually add the cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until it melts and the sauce becomes thick and creamy.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the cheese sauce. Mix well to ensure even seasoning throughout the sauce.
Place the steamed cauliflower florets in a large serving dish or bowl.
Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, ensuring each floret is evenly coated with the sauce.
Optional: Top with chopped chives for added flavor and a pop of color.
Serve the Keto Cauliflower with Cheese Sauce immediately as a warm side dish.
