Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head/two bags of riced cauliflower, frozen
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 2 tbs butter unsalted
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- One tsp pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbs parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Into small bite-size pieces, chop the raw cauliflower.
- Boil water and a pinch of salt in a medium sized pot.
- To the boiling water, add the raw cauliflower and cook it until it gets tender. Depending on the size of your cauliflower florets, this will take about 5 to 7 minutes. If they are bigger, it may take longer.
- Drain the cauliflower and put it aside.
- Add the butter, heavy cream, cream cheese, mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika in the empty and still warm pot. (This is the spice that levels it out and adds a depth of flavor you will love so don't skip the paprika!)
- Until it all melts and comes together like a gravy, stir the ingredients over medium heat.
- Put warm cauliflower and until all the sauce has coated the florets, stir it.
- Add the cheeses and until it has completely melted, stir.
- Top with parsley.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- This recipe serves about 6 servings.
- Optional to make this dish extra special: On top, add crumbled crispy bacon and for extra spice, some sliced jalapeños!
