#ComfortFood #CauliflowerMacAndCheese #HealthyEating #CheesyGoodness #VegetarianDelight
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Directions:
1. Let’s get preheating! Fire up your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with that lovely olive oil.
2. Steam those cauliflower florets until they're tender, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Once they’re done, drain and set them aside – you've got this!
3. In a large mixing bowl, blend together the cream cheese, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whip it up until it’s nice and smooth.
4. Now, fold in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until they’re well combined and gooey!
5. Gently add the steamed cauliflower to your cheese mixture, making sure every floret gets a good coating.
6. Transfer this deliciousness to your greased baking dish, spreading it evenly across the pan.
7. Sprinkle that grated Parmesan cheese on top – can you smell it already?
8. Pop it in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until it’s gloriously golden and bubbly.
9. Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes (as hard as that may be!) before digging in. If you’re feeling fancy, garnish with chopped green onions.
