Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked ham
- 3 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Steam or microwave the cauliflower florets until just tender (about 5-7 minutes). Drain and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Reduce heat to low and stir in cream cheese until melted and smooth.
Gradually whisk in heavy cream, continuing to stir until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
Stir in onion powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Add the cooked ham, steamed cauliflower, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese on top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
