Ingredients

• 1 head whole cauliflower
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem so it can sit flat, but leave the head intact.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Place a steamer basket in the pot and set the cauliflower inside. Cover and steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is slightly tender but still firm. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Place the steamed cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet. Gently coat it with the olive oil using your hands or a brush.

Step 6

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top and sides of the cauliflower using a spatula or a spoon, making sure it's fully covered.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the cheese frosting is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 9

Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Frosted Cauliflower!
