Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  4. Whisk in the heavy cream and cream cheese until smooth.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Season the cheese sauce with salt and pepper to your liking.
  7. Add the drained cauliflower florets to the cheese sauce and gently toss to coat.
  8. Pour the cauliflower and cheese mixture into a lightly greased baking dish.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  10. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra cheesy topping, sprinkle a little extra cheddar cheese on top before baking.
  • You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cheese sauce for a hint of spice.
  • Feel free to use a blend of your favorite cheeses, such as Gruyere or Monterey Jack.
