Cauli Smash
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
- Cut cauliflower into 2 inch chunks. Rinse them off. Put them into a large stock pot with 1/2 cup of water and add a sprinkle of salt. Bring to boil over high heat. Cover the pot and reduce heat to medium. Steam for 10 minutes or until fork tender, stirring halfway through cooking time.
- Drain cauliflower in a colander then return it to the pot. Place pot on the still warm burner and add the cubed cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sour cream, diced scallion and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese is melted.
- Using a potato masher, give it all a rough smash. If you want it really creamy, you can put it in a blender or food processor. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon cauliflower mash into the greased casserole dish. Sprinkle top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until bubbly and cheese has browned. Remove it from the oven and top with scallions if desired.
- NOTE: If you need a take and bake dish, cover and refrigerate it once the basic ingredients are done, instead of placing it directly in the oven. Then you can bake it when needed.
