Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the cauliflower and place it in a food processor or blender while still hot.
Add the butter, sour cream, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the processor as needed to ensure everything is evenly combined.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and blend briefly to incorporate. The cheese will melt into the warm cauliflower.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the whipped cauliflower to a serving dish, and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
