Ingredients

1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

2 tbsp unsalted butter

2 oz cream cheese

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup almond milk, unsweetened

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping, optional)

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and pat dry to remove excess moisture.

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, and almond milk, stirring until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Stir in the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Reduce heat to low and gradually add the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, stirring constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Do not let the sauce boil.

Add the drained cauliflower florets to the cheese sauce and gently toss to coat evenly.

Pour the cauliflower mixture into the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly golden on top. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
