What goes in

• 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 3 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons milk of choice, feel free to add more if needed for desired consistency
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Garnish with fresh chives and parsley, optional

How it comes together

1. To steam cauliflower: In a medium to large pot, bring about 2 inches of water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets to a steamer basket and place that on top of the pot of boiling water. Steam the cauliflower for about 10 to 12 minutes, until fork tender and soft.
2. To boil cauliflower: Add florets to a large pot of boiling water and season with a little salt and pepper. Boil cauliflower for about 6 to 8 minutes until fork tender and then drain in a colander.
3. Transfer cooked cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor or blender and add in the rest of the ingredients (except the fresh herbs). Blend until cauliflower mash is nice and silky, season with additional salt and pepper, if needed, and garnish with fresh chives or parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
