INGREDIENTS
200g Cauliflower Florets
40g Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
150g Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Nonfat Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F if you prefer a slight bake at the end for a crisp finish, or prepare a stovetop method.
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 8-10 minutes, then drain well.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the steamed cauliflower with nonfat milk, Greek yogurt, and olive oil. Use a hand blender or potato masher to blend into a smooth, creamy sauce leaving some texture.
Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese gradually, allowing it to melt and incorporate into the sauce. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
For an oven finish, transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish and broil for 3-5 minutes until the top is lightly golden. Alternatively, serve directly from the saucepan for a creamier consistency.
Serve warm as a comforting meal perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
