It's simple to make, it only requires a small saucepan and a dish to bake it in. I'm a minimalist when it comes to dishes these days. My daily challenge is to only run my dishwasher ONCE a day. I'm not always successful. But tomorrow is a new day!
So all you do is mix the sauce together in a saucepan (just to get the cheese melty and the cream cheese to incorporate completely). Toss it together - in the baking dish - with the RAW cauliflower (I'm into eliminating cooking steps whenever possible, too), cover it with foil and bake. When the cauliflower is done, take the foil off, sprinkle a little more cheese on top and bake for a few more mins. That's it! Easy. Delicious. Keto. Yum.
Cauliflower 'n Cheese
7.5 oz. tub onion & chive cream cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar-jack blend cheese, divided
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix together the cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese, half-and-half and salt & pepper. Stir until just combined (no need to cook it; we're just melting it here).
Spread the cauliflower in a 9x13 baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce on top and mix well. Cover tightly with foil and bake in a 400 degree oven for 35 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350, remove the foil, sprinkle the other half cup of cheese over the top and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork and the cheese is bubbly.
