You won't believe how good this Mashed Cauliflower with Cream Cheese is! Creamy, smooth and addictive!
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower or 5 cups frozen cauliflower microwaved and steamed
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 12 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded asiago cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- If using a head of cauliflower, wash and cut florets off. Place florets into a microwave safe bowl. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water, cover with a paper towel and microwave for 4-5 minutes and allow to steam for 2 minutes.
- Remove from microwave and drain in a colander placed over a large pot or in the sink. (be careful, steam will be hot.)
- Transfer cooked cauliflower back into a large bowl. Add garlic powder, salt, softened cream cheese and butter. Stir to combine.
- Using a food processor with the standard blade attachment OR an immersion blender, puree mixture until smooth.
- Spoon half of the cauliflower mixture into a baking dish. Top with half the asiago cheese. Add the remaining cauliflower mixture and top with the remaining asiago cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden, bubbly, and hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but will need to be reheated in the microwave on 50% power until hot throughout.
