Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower florets
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons scallions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and steam them until tender, about 10 minutes.
Drain the cauliflower well and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and cream cheese. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Add cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese to the mixture, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted completely.
Season the cheese sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the steamed cauliflower into the saucepan and gently fold it into the cheese sauce until the florets are well-coated.
Transfer the cheesy cauliflower mixture to a baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly on top.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with sliced scallions before serving for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
