Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, separated into florets
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/3 cup low-fat milk
  • 3 tablespoons light butter
  • 5 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives

Steps

  • 1
    In large saucepan or skillet, place steamer basket in 1/2 inch water (water should not touch bottom of basket). Place cauliflower and garlic in basket. Cover tightly; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; steam 8 to 12 minutes or until tender.
  • 2
    Transfer cauliflower and garlic to large bowl; add milk, 2 tablespoons of the butter, 3 tablespoons of the cheese, the salt and pepper. Blend with potato masher or electric mixer until creamy, adding more milk if necessary. Sprinkle with chives.
  • 3
    Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter; drizzle over cauliflower mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons cheese. Serve immediately.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Don’t have a steamer basket? Use the microwave instead. In large microwavable dish or bowl, place cauliflower, garlic and 2 tablespoons water. Cover (or cover with microwavable plastic wrap); microwave on High about 8 minutes, stirring once or twice, until tender. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes; drain. Continue as directed.
  • tip 2
    You can make this dish ahead and refrigerate until serving. Reheat in the microwave, then drizzle with melted butter and top with Parmesan.
  • tip 3
    Missing your mashed potatoes? Add some to the mix for a potato cauliflower mash.
