Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower
  • 2 tbs cream cheese (regular or low fat)
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1 tbs chives fresh, chopped, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • Trim the stem from the cauliflower and cut it into small florets.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and simmer just until tender, about 8 minutes.

Notes

All it takes is a dab of cream cheese, a sprinkle of Parmesan and chopped fresh chives to transform an ordinary vegetable into an extraordinary side dish.
