Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower florets
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets and wash thoroughly under cool water.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
In a pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the cooked cauliflower, sautéed garlic, heavy cream, cream cheese, and the remaining tablespoon of butter. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a medium-sized bowl and stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Optional: To add a golden crust, transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe dish, sprinkle additional Parmesan on top, and broil for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped chives if desired. Enjoy your luxurious Low Carb Fauxtatoes Cauliflower Deluxe!
