Cheesy Cauliflower Au Gratin Recipe Idea

 

Cheesy Cauliflower Au Gratin

Makes 8 servings 

Ingredients:

4 cups (14.08 oz) raw cauliflower florets (8 greens)

4 Tbsp butter (8 healthy fats)

6 Tbsp heavy whipping cream (6 condiments)

¼ tsp salt (1 condiment)

½ tsp pepper (1 condiment)

1 1/2 cup (6 oz) low fat pepper jack cheese (1 leaner)

Directions:

In a microwave safe dish, combine the cauliflower, butter, cream, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.

Microwave on high for about 25 minutes, or until tender. (You can always start with 10 minutes, then 10 more, then 5 more if you think it is necessary. Some microwaves cook different than others. You want it soft enough to mash with a fork. The longer it stays in, the thicker the sauce gets.) 

Remove from the microwave and mash with a fork or potato masher. Lay the slices of cheese across the top of the cauliflower. 

Microwave for another 2-3 minutes or until cheese has melted. Serve hot.

Per serving for program: 1/8 leaner,  1 healthy fat,  1 green, 1 condiment
