Calories 176kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 Head Cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Black pepper
  • 4 Ounces Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded, more if you’d like to sprinkle some on top
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Thyme
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Place cauliflower florets on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Toss cauliflower in olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops begin to brown.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, add the cream cheese, heavy cream, cheddar cheese and thyme and melt together over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • Place cauliflower in a small casserole dish (I used an 8” cast iron here, but a square 8” casserole pan will work as well.)
  • Pour cheese sauce evenly over the cauliflower.
  • Option to sprinkle more shredded cheddar (about ½ cup) over the top of your cheesy cauliflower and melt it in the oven for about 10 minutes.
  • Allow cheesy cauliflower to cool before serving and enjoy!

Notes

  • Each head of cauliflower will yield a different amount. To most accurately calculate the nutrition, divide this recipe into 8 servings and use the macros below.
  • Option to add more herbs/spices to the sauce (I wanted to keep this recipe as simple as possible, since my cauliflower mac and cheese requires quite a few additional ingredients!)
