Ingredients:

Table of Contents

1 large head of cauliflower (or about 4-5 cups of cauliflower florets)

1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or any cheese you like, such as mozzarella or a cheese blend)

½ cup cream cheese, softened

½ cup heavy cream

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

½ cup crispy bacon bits (optional, for added flavor)

Fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

Prep the Cauliflower:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cut the cauliflower into florets. Steam or boil them for 5-7 minutes until just tender but still firm (avoid overcooking). Drain well and set aside.

Make the Cheese Sauce:

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the cream cheese and stir until melted and smooth.

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly until it becomes a smooth sauce.

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

Once the sauce is smooth, add the cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted, and the sauce becomes thick and creamy.

Combine the Cauliflower and Sauce:

Gently fold the steamed cauliflower florets into the cheesy sauce, making sure they’re coated well
