Ingredients
 

  • 5 cups cauliflower about 1 medium head or 3 3/4 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1/3 cup Cream Cheese
  • 2 tbsp. parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 2 tsp. garlic
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • scallions

Instructions
 

  • If starting with roughly chopped cauliflower, pulse in a blender until reduced to rice-sized pieces, working in batches as needed.
  • In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, 2 tbsp. Parm, butter, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until mostly smooth and uniform.
  • Bring an extra-large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add cauliflower and 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook for 6 minutes.
  • Uncover skillet. Cook and stir until water has evaporated and cauliflower is tender, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low. Add cream cheese mixture, and cook and stir until cheese has melted and coated cauliflower, about 1 minute. Before serving, top with remaining 2 tsp. Parm.
