For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting the garlic before adding it to the cauliflower mash. Simply wrap the garlic cloves in foil with a drizzle of olive oil and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until soft and fragrant. If you don't have sour cream on hand, plain Greek yogurt makes a fantastic substitute. It adds a similar tang and creaminess while boosting the protein content. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Gruyere, Parmesan, or even a smoked Gouda would all be delicious additions. To make this dish even more decadent, brown the butter before adding it to the cauliflower. The nutty flavor will elevate the mash to a whole new level. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan or microwave, adding a splash of milk or broth if needed to restore the creamy consistency.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large pot, combine the cauliflower florets, minced garlic, and bay leaf. Add enough water to completely submerge the cauliflower. (2 minutes)
02
StepBring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the cauliflower is fork-tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
03
StepDrain the cauliflower thoroughly, discarding the bay leaf. Excess water will ruin the texture!
04
StepTransfer the cooked cauliflower and garlic to a food processor or blender. Add the shredded Cheddar cheese, butter, and sour cream.
05
StepBlend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the consistency as needed by adding a tablespoon of warm water or broth at a time, if necessary. (2-3 minutes)
06
StepSeason generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remember, seasoning is key to bringing out the flavors!
07
StepServe immediately and enjoy this guilt-free indulgence!
