Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 1 pound lobster meat
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Steam the florets for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still firm. Drain well and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the heavy cream and cream cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cream cheese is fully melted and combined with the cream.
Gradually mix in the cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Stir in the dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Add the steamed cauliflower and lobster meat to the skillet, gently folding them into the cheese sauce until everything is well coated.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
