Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets (approximately 4 cups)
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • chives, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Boil cauliflower in water for 10-15 minutes, or until tender. (You can also steam cauliflower in a steamer basket or in the microwave.)
  • Thoroughly drain the water to avoid a soggy mash. Pat the cauliflower with paper towels to drain any excess water.
  • Add the cauliflower to a food processor. Process until smooth.
  • To the blender, add parmesan, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Process again until well blended.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and top with butter.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with chopped chives.
