Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole

Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole

Ingredients:

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup heavy cream
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Steam or boil the cauliflower florets for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Drain well.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream, cream cheese, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and the Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and combined.
Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower and toss to coat evenly. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top, along with breadcrumbs if using.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
