Instructions
- Place cauliflower and a few tablespoons of water in a microwave safe bowl with a lid (I use a microwave steamer container, but you can also use a glass casserole dish if it has a microwave safe lid.)
- Cook for 7 to 8 minutes on high, until just fork tender. You do not want to overcook your cauliflower, or your cauli mash will come out runny/soupy. Drain excess water from cauliflower.
- Place herbed goat cheese and cream cheese into the food processor. Add cooked hot cauliflower on top. Puree until smooth. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve garnished with chives, if desired.
Notes
Recipe Note: make sure and use a full head of cauliflower, not already cut florets, to get the right texture. Read above in the post to read why!
