Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
Instructions
Begin by washing the cauliflower head thoroughly under cold water. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Remove the leaves and the core of the cauliflower. Then, using a box grater or a food processor, grate the cauliflower into rice-sized pieces. Set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the garlic and butter. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream and stir thoroughly to combine with the cauliflower rice.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheeses are completely melted and creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to your taste preference.
Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped chives over the top for garnish.
Serve hot as a deliciously cheesy side dish, perfect for any keto meal.
