Wonderful. I am always looking for new recipes including cauliflower!
My husband and I really liked this. Our kids were a little "meh." I actually used parmesan because that's what I had on hand but otherwise didn't change anything.
Fantastic! This is the best cauliflower recipe I have ever tried. Very tasty!
Pretty good! This was actually my first time preparing cauliflower ever and I really enjoyed the flavor with the Asiago and cream cheese. I paired it with a pork chop and some green beans for Valentine’s Day Dinner.
We always keep frozen cauliflower since we've been on the Keto Diet. I read this recipe and thought this would also make a great soup. Snowed in I cooked a much needed to be used Rutabaga in the Express Cooker. Added the frozen Cauliflower, Veggie broth and the cheeses. Used my immersion blender and made a great tasting soup on 02/10. THEN! I made the mashed cauliflower as a side to the Prime Rib dinner for Valentines Day. It was a great big hit with my husband. Topped off with chives, neither of us missed the potato. It's a great recipe and a keeper. This is the 3rd or 4th recipe I have tried of Colleen's and they have always been excellent. Will continue to look for her recipes from now on. Congratulations on this Grand Prize entry.
Fantastic!!! Wow!!! I added a teaspoon of onion powder and 2 tablespoons of snipped chives I had in the freezer. Increased the asiago to ¾ cup because I had a larger cauliflower. I did not use the extra salt and skipped the butter. I highly recommend this recipe. It's a keeper!
I made this last night and it was delicious. My hubby even gave it a thumbs up. I did use light cream cheese and maybe I'll cut down to 1/4 cup next time just to cut some calories and fat. This is definitely a winner. Thanks for posting
A hit. Used the pressure cooker to cook the cauli, drained for 20 min in colander but still pressed it gently to get as much water out as possible without forcing the cauli through the holes. Didn't use a food processor, a fork and warming up the cream cheese in the microwave is all that is needed. Didn't need or use the butter, full of flavor without it. Didn't add any salt, there is lots in the cheese. Microwaved just before serving to reheat.
Since trying to go low-carb, I have discovered I LOVE mashed cauliflower! This recipe is amazing!!! The tang of the cream cheese and asiago cheese really take it up a notch.
